To Ian / Polux sorry but I had to post this in the Chat section I couldn't get into the Build section to post it

[papa 695]

Made a start on this one, got the twenty two sets of road wheels and springs put together and painted

I'm glad my Tiger didn't have springs on the wheels! Nice start Ian.

[papa 695]

Thank you for putting this in the correct section Ian or Polux


Like I said earlier I can't get in to post in the building section

And to think Ian, those springs won't be visible on the completed model!

Once it's posted in the building section I can get into it from the recent posted column Ian
