Drake69 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks! Next update... decal striping put down... And into final assembly... CB radio installed... After drying, then the final decals will go on. NOTE TO THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO BUILD THIS MODEL: 1: If you intend to use the stripe decals, lay them down prior to attaching the snorkel and door handles. You will need to punch holes in the appropriate areas to finish assembly, but it makes the process MUCH easier than trying to affix those stripes with everything put together. 2: The door pieces are wide in height, the slots for them are NOT. Shave the door latches with a knife before trying to jam it into the recessed hole for them. 3: There is a pin on the back of the door latch that is supposed to go into a hole in the door. CUT IT OFF to save yourself a ton of aggravation. 4: There are two holes in the hood to attach the hood latches on. Widen those holes slightly with a pin vise before trying to push them in. Consider clipping off the pins in the back of the latch and just glueing those on as well. Edited April 8, 2015 by Drake69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
