started building some sub assemblies and the chassis, horrible soft grey plastic which has nice detail but some sinkage in areas and not as good a fit as Tamiya, lot's of fettling to make things fit and tons of seam lines and flash, enjoying the build so far though.

Image
1st page of instructions
Image
Started on the chassis, very flimsy and slightly warped
Image
Engine and gearbox assembled
Image
I do love the pe fan belts though
Image
test fit
Image
on to next page of instructions
Image
test fit of engine and gearbox, gearbox brackets required fettling
Image
rear diffs and suspension built up and dry fitted
Image
front leaf springs and side step fitted
Image
how it looks from underneath
Image
and from the top
Image
fuel tank on and more test fitting/fettling, nothing on this kit fits first go
Image
transfer box dry fitted
Image
all the prop shafts in
Image
and the instrctions to where i am now

enjoying the build, lots of fettling though......to be continued........
