Randy D Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hi Folks, I thank all who took the time to comment Kerry, you would have to pick that out I've been putting off addressing those tires. that seam is actually a groove and with the rubber being very soft it's going to be a real pain to remove enough material to even them out. At least with Tamiya's way of mounting the wheels I can pull them off later to fix them ( how about we call those 'wear indicators' ) Bruce, That really small wire came out of my model train parts box. It is a braided wire (six really tiny wires) I will try to come up with a supplier. Found a helmet in the parts box that I could modify. The visor is cut from gold Mylar sheet that came from the craft store..... All the body parts are now glued in. Over all fit is pretty good. I need to work on the doors a little as they could close a little tighter. Still need to stick the mirrors on and decide how much more of the cf decals to put on.... Thanks for looking in !
