 Hi All I have been asked to complete this build so here goes. I recieved the kit in the semi-built form that Spencer had got up to so I have carried on with the build as best as I can not really knowing his full intentions on progression. With the engine and rear suspension mostly done I have carried on here by adding the rear shocks, mufflers and various small assemblys. More soon Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Always difficult to take on any build that`s already started.  Can`t think of any better hands to give it a good shot though. Good luck Andy, sure it`s gonna be a winner. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi All The main engine hoses have been added, still more to add from the front of the car to the engine bay. The hoses are from Japan and are made from a woven plastic material which makes then hollow, they are available in a few sizes/colours but what I like about the white ones is you can paint them any colour you want and the paint stiffens the hose so they dont collapse when curving/fitting them to the car. To finish the ends off I just cut short pieces of heat shrink tube and shrunk them at each tube ending. Before starting to spray the model 244:-1mm brass rivets were added to all the pre drilled holes. The last pictures show the parts drying after being sprayed with Zero paints 'Pure Brilliant White'. Once the white is done the Mclaren MP4 Red will be applied. More soon Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
