I worked on the frame some tonight to strengthen the frame rails even more I used a technique my older brother taught me well over 30 years ago called “Ballooning” I used corn starch and super glue. Think I’m going to call it a night I have a early A.M. delivery. Enjoy the pics.92D9E747-D963-4FDC-922C-168966B482B3.jpeg84842799-87B9-4E03-B48D-91C0F868359C.jpeg59800000-1B81-49AE-AE2A-671EAB039A7D.jpegA2F4AC43-6A2C-4289-8E9C-12160A8CE271.jpegFD232511-B14E-46F7-B217-DF4E7B46449C.jpeg

That chassis looks a lot better now than when it was in two halves :) With a bit of paint I doubt you’ll be able to tell it was ever cut at all.

Si. Thanks I think I’m going over come this beast.

John. Thanks. My brother is a brilliant model builder a high end detail master. When he was a teenagers in the early 1970s he would read Military model magazines get ideas and put them to work on his 1/25 trucks . I guess we’ve became full circle now I owe my talent what little I have to him

Well I dug out the second one of these kits I bought when I got this one and found a perfect front axle. Sorry for the small update I have a really early delivery in the morning.B61C9953-979A-4588-AA1E-1654480D9352.jpeg
