Great work John I think Polux means you have set the bar high

Thank you Polux for ur kind comment, I thought you meant are you going to change the ride hight of the rear end.Originally posted by \Ohh, sorry John!I'm not sure if here in England you use this 'comment'.
The meaning is easy; the level of this model is very high, so the people who wants to build someday, well...we will have to 'work hard' to imitate it.
That's the idea!
Thanks again mate

I think he meant you have "Raised the bar"....
It sure is looking good so far. I might just have to grab one when I get the chance.

Thank you all for all your kind comments.
Made a stert on the engine bay cleand it out a bit & removed the base of the engine as it would be hard to work on with the front axel in place.

I think the rear axel looks better painted, the axel is not glued on as i have yet to put the brake pips from rear to front.

Also had a look at the exhaust & it looks nothing like the walk around, in the kit the down pip is in the N/S/F wing, in the walk around it comes down through the engine bay.
What you think !!!.
