That's super Dennis, I like it a lot!! Is it a Fujimi kit??

I wish I painted my dash pod cover orange like that coool

Mine is going to have an orange tint on all windows that I am hoping will make it pop

Are trying to finish this up in time for the modelshow in Burnaby this weekend?.

I am going to that show on Saturday, not likely enter this one though or the Talbo Lago

I don't really build for shows. That being said, I am considering brining a 1/16 MGTC build with lots of extras...we shall see if I chicken out or not

I have yet to build a model where I feel I have just nailed everything perfectly. Maybe that is what drives me....crazy

So last night I worked to balance out the way the wheels sit

The left rear diver's side was at a weird angle, you can see it in the first pic, so I chopped out the driveshaft and unglued the suspension

Then I added some lead foil packets into the transmission tunnel for weight and re-glued everything

This helped let it sit more flush and will give a good weighted feel to the model overall

I have left everything set up overnight with some weight on the back suspension to keep it flush. I will do an after photo tonight and you can see the difference

Yep, that did the trick...my fault not the kit’s

You are a good influence.

Watching all those major alterations you do made it easier for me to fix the wheel alignment screw up that would have bugged me otherwise

SOoooooo what is wrong with this photo?

...aside from having to use clamps to get the back end tight, the door cards are sitting in the background 

Back apart it comes, a tab is trimmed in the rear, door cards glued in....and still I need the clamps for the rear. She is fighting final assembly

Finishing up, off to under glass soon.

Nothing more frustrating than reaching the end and the kit won't go together!!,glad to see you got it figured out.

Indeed, you think you dry fit test enough but everything is still loose. Then you start gluing and screwing stuff down and the fit changes

Hey did you go to the Burnaby swap meet??? The MGTC model I brought had people avoiding it in droves Zero interest.
