I don't know how others faired who have built this but I am finding it hard going. Most parts I build in my order of construction as the instructions sometimes make it difficult or more likely it is just me lol.
the rear fairleads are a point in fact, the etch bodies have tiny and I mean tiny pivot pins that allow them to swivel. These I decided to ignore and used lengths of evergreen rod to make the pivots these are a lot stronger the braces have also been made out of evergreen. The winch drums were made out of sequence as the fit of the components was bad and would just not go together as suggested.
As I said it is probably just me.
The A frame is also not symmetrical and it is very hard to see which way round it should go. I'm hoping that my logic has it the right way.
Next to allow me to assemble after painting and for strength I have added pins to the roof pillars.
and the matching holes in the pillars.
It needs a little filler in the holes where the spot lights fit.

Scottie
