Moderator 16023 forum posts 5602 photos 11 articles	Erm! I hope i have not stepped on some toes An edited post with out explanation Anyway Yahoo i have been allowed to upload photos so forget that here's the update... First up was some more work on the drivers/transmission area This is from one of my books... And the kit parts were a little lacking so i have removed more plastic and added some more in it place, Some plus model lead wire and some styrene controls Instead of the kit Steering wheel? Whats that about I have also borrowed some better detailed seats from an old 251 Build. Hers is the finished parts dry fitted i hope you agree once fitted it looks somewhat better and more busy in there... Craig Edited By Craig Hiscock on 22/04/2009 15:38:12

I have used a bit of artistic license on the placement of stuff just so as you can see some of it the the open top. I have also managed to finish the last scratch panel for the winch area and dry fitted them together... Here is is dry fitted again to the hull. Craig

Just make sure you try and keep an even pressure. The thick bit... And the finished part fixed. It does not look that different to be honest but there was a lot removed. Honest That's it! Hope you like it, any comments welcome. Football tonight so i think i will just be cleaning up the other road wheels ( A sport friendly process Craig

Yeah, the tool bracket is an impovement too. Are you useing the Italeri wheels, because they are a bit dodgy about the tire rims. check out the number of ridges + height. If you got a spare set of Dragon ones Tony

Moderator 16023 forum posts 5602 photos 11 articles	Cheers lads. Tony i have just remove the wheels from the sprue and did notice this yes. Although they are predominately for the inner set they do look a bit I dont have any spare Dragon ones so i think i will just make do and hopefully they turn out ok. Craig

With such an 'open' nature to the beast all this extra internal detail should really complementa kit that is not up to the standards Dragon are setting these days, but then it is a bit cheaper I suppose. enjoying watching you work through this one.
