That's a lot of parts Simon. Are there any specific issues cleaning up white metal parts.

Not aware of any but i will keep my mask on and work through them with files and knifes dremel if required but its the small items that seem to be the worst i cant see any real problems iv worked with metal all my life holding them might be the only problem

Hi all not much of an update but i have cleaned up the rear twin axle assembly &
removed all the seam lines polished off the oxidisation and primmed it
more to follow once i get the chance but due to a small family turning up unannounced its put the brakes on ..my daughter gave birth to twins last weekend, 6 weeks early but all doing well Isabella and George., however we now have a six year-old to look after for the next few weeks till mum and babies are aloud home so as and when i can i will get moving on this

A nice progress, both in modelling and family life.
Best wishes to your daughter and... Wow! twins! Welcome to Isabella and George.

Looks like options or spares have increased the parts count. Seems a lovely kit though.

Nice one on the family Simon, congratulations. Started in the truck as well I see :thumb2:
Out of interest, why polish off the oxidation?

Wrong choice of words, i wire brushed it and buffed it of with scotch brite to give the paint the best chance, the shine is just a bonus.. hope that makes sense

Yes definatly a few extra parts, which is good as some have the odd blemish so good to have options, and both sets of axles for the front i am building the 6 wheel drive vertion but 4 wheel is there as well if required
