afx Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks Dann & Gene. Appreciate you posting the direct comparison pictures Lloyd. Mock-up to confirm stance with the chassis assembled. Wheels will get additional detail painting, need to work on the rear hatch fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Is the hatch from the same kit as the shell, or is the 'fit' that bad? NP on the pics . Edited October 11, 2018 by Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 It is from the same kit Lloyd. The glass and the hatch are only taped together in the photo so I'm sure I can get a better fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Stance and Fujimi wheels are looking fine already, looking forward to seeing this painted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Rally teams moved the fuel fill to the back of the car. Drilled and chamfered a hole in the body and fabricated the simple fuel cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Yea Lloyd happy with the hatch for now. I'll check it again after paint and before I permanently attach it. Thanks Trevor & Dann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italianhorses Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I would make the cap smaller. On the picture, it looks like it is really pushed in, yours looks more like it is very snug and flush with the bodywork. Cool idea though!
