one little trick with the hard tail is to give the seat some springs.....last time i did it i used some little bits of sprue in the right place under the seat and on the frame, then cut down a spring from a pen to go between, but of course you need to add the bits of sprue before painting the framebest of luck getting some more of these, i believe they are out of revells catalogue now unfortunatly, im planning on rebuilding one of my very early ones by transplanting a 4 pot engine from a dead tamiya suzuki katana

Paul,

If you want to go down the route of springs under the seat (........and that sounds like a real good idea) ......... I have two very shiny chrome shock absorbers that are spare in the Katana kit. If you want to give it a go pm me your address and I'll pop them in an envelope and post them to you

Bit more of the purple one (got me at it now Ron hehehe), Now then, the exhaust. Was not happy with them so a fitted some wrap just to add some detail. It's just Tamiya tape with superglue over the top to seal it on there, now it's painted I'm happy with the look.[ATTACH=CONFIG]66099[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]66100[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]66101[/ATTACH]
