The Chassis is now complete, the only issue was the exhaust position, it was too high & offset to one side. I made a simple washer out of plastic & it sorted it out.
I conducted another spoon test. The photo is not good, but the spoon on the right is under-coated with Tamiya silver spray, and the paint has been filtered through some tights, and thinned with Lacquer thinner. There are some large dark spots, but it'll do...
The tyres' flash was removed with this dremel thing, it made a bloody mess everywhere, and I almost lost the thread.
A bit of diluted Indian Ink lifts the details on the wheels... just the body left now.
