That's an unfortunate state of affairs Andy. Please don't bin it, certainly not like you to throw in the towel.
Let's see some Smithy action please :nerd::thumb2:Comment

Stick with it Andy even if only for your hate for it, I still can't under stand why manufacturers put so much into into the chassis when ninty percent cant even be seen then give you a poorly detailed (and in your case fitting) cab wich could be displayed open the same I always think goes for the engine leave the bonnet up to display the badly detailed lump of after thought plastic supplied.

OK Then.... The Cab RAMMED Rested into position:thumb2:.......
....... I think not,..............it was an horrendous assembly and even after ripping it all apart 3 times,i only ended up with this.......
:astonished:
It`s a real shame,cos i thought it`d be a decent kit....... but i STILL don`t want to abandon it!!:astonished:,HOWEVER,you can see here,just how bad the fit is..... even with pulling apartr,cutting/filling and then re assembling.....(I might add,"With some severe clamps and bands"!!),this was the best i could manage.....the carnage of small bits being lost to the carpet monster is self evident in the pics,due to my bullying to get things as close as possible,fitwise!!
I have much of a way to go..... if i give it that much time.........
....... I spent SO much of my own time building,and trying to get,the Searchlight / Genny to be correct,i don`t want to spoil the whole Diorama just because i crow bar an unacceptable truck into the scene! I will try and get it right......
But as STYX once said......
..... "Hang man is coming down from the Gallows and i don`t have very long"!!!!
I shall reply to your kind posts shortly.... and show some progress i`ve made on other aspects of this Dio :thumb2:,
Thanks as always for looking in guys,it`s ALWAYS appreciated..... but even more so when things become tiresome!!

Andy looks like one of my well manufactured models after I've attacked it. Coat of paint and it will be perfect. Say Hi to Rach from us.

Hey Dave,Great to hear from you!
Thanks for the positive Vibes man!!:thumb2:,I do appreciate it !
I do agree with you 100%.... why on earth do they put so much effort into details/parts that you`ll NEVER see..... and skip around some,oh so obvious bits?!!:flushed:,
I`ll stick with it for a while..... but then it may end up with a different Bedford!!
