Terrific "crap in the back". Nice set of figures also. Very impressive Paul

Thank you gentlemen. Some progress. Rim stiffeners, shifters & handbrake installed, grabs shaped & cut, headlights trimmed, will install steering wheel once gauges are painted.


C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

I'll save weathering for when it's placed. These pics show I've forgotten to add the rear convoy lamp, the slots on the headlights, & the rust on the tailpipes. Oh well. Nice kit for this scale. Criticisms, QA should have caught the partial front suspension, no tail light or rear lic. plate mount & if you're not going to provide grabs at least provide dimples for drilling.





C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Paul, that's a good looking "9". Your listed faults are all items that can be addressed prior to final weathering. I will be looking at this and the S ws for future builds. Thanks for trying these kits and illustrating their strengths and weaknesses for those of us interested in 1/87 scale.
