Why?found out the hard way ..had to use my Dremel and fine disc to cut a slot to allow the exhaust pipe access.Then I added a plastic plate!

Don't worry, you aren't the first, and I doubt you'll be the last to make that mistake, luckily I've worked on the real thing and knew the exhaust went through the inner wing, Revell got it bang on, great rescue though...

Yep I guess it was necessary to protect the exhaust system in rough terrain.

Just for fun,I put a large RAF roundrel decal on the hood!

Decided to paint the seats and interior panels a sand color.Gies well with the green body..

[philo426]

Installed the 2 rows of seats...like the sand color!The rear seats have a black frame which was tricky to paint.

I got the interior panels installed.Fit was very good abd positive.I simulated galvanized metal on the front bumper by first painting it chrome silver and allowing it to dry overnight .Then I used flat aluminum and cut down paint brush to  stipple it on in an irregular pattern.Pretty good results.

Nice effect on the bumper

Fit the body to the chassis,except for a minor problem with the clutch pedal hanging up fit was great!

Grille needs a little more blackening up it looks good!

Test fit the spare tire.

This thing is looking pretty awesome... 

I can't believe I had this in my hand, this morning...Hobby Lobby has some of these....It can be had for about $25 out the door...I'm sure I'll pull the trigger by the end of the week, though...
