    The body assembly couldn't be easier, just hold the parts together & apply a drop of TET, no hassle, no straining of parts. My only worry is when to start painting................

      When compared, the odd things is they behave exactly the same … You can make your own, though.

          TET is just an abbreviation for Tamiya Extra Thin.

            OOps,
            carbon tetrachloride - also known as carbon tet, can be used as an adhesive, but it's not very user friendly, and can cause organ failure with prolonged exposure..........................
            I meant Tamiya Extra Thin ( it's quicker to type TET ) - apologies for any confusion :worried:

                      To have the seat frame works in scale is nice, but it would been just as good to have them moulded integral with the seats, and would have been easier!

                      I've reached the stage where I can prime the interior. I have to paint now, as there is the spare wheel to add, and other parts, which would prevent it fitting..................

                        Looks great Dave. Loads of fine detail, but I bet it was a bit of a pig to clean up…..

                          looking good, Dave
                          those seat frames would be perfect if you wanted to show a burnt out wreck....
