So I feel I had a very productive week. I did a lot of prepping, painting and of course lots of dry fitting. Hopefully it will show this weekend on what I have accomplished. -

If you have ever tried assembling a mfh kit, you’ll know that you need to go 3-4 steps ahead, to make sure the actual step your working on won’t throw everything out of wack. Like decals. I was all set and happy and then I took a step back and looked at the overall kit and realized I need to paint and put one decal on the engine cover, so it will line up with the cockpit. So after a few weeks of fighting seam lines.. (bodywork is not my strong suit) we are now back on track. thanks for looking Chris -
Some freaking cool stuff, you have going on! Definitely taking this subject to another level. ?

I’ve started the cockpit and it’s been a pain trying to find good reference photos and with little or none that show how the computer system is wired, I took some liberty. I do have a seat to assemble and then the top section with the doors. stay tuned!! -

To be honest I don’t know why either. maybe because they don’t know where they go ? -

Married the engine to the trans and added some oil lines… next up is the cockpit… and after studying the directions there seems to be quite a bit of interesting things coming my way. -

I spent a good amount of time drilling, cleaning and painting. the gearbox and rear suspension with brakes are done, I am not perfect, I did break one of the white metal parts. Now I’m waiting for the replacement, but I can still move forward. So… stay tuned
