Evenin' all,
Well, I'm getting towards completion of the above kit. Its been quite enjoyable but certainly challenging at times. The overall quality is very good. For example a lot of the suspension components are made from resin rather than styrene which gives them a different texture and they are mostly held together with (very tiny) metal screws and brackets. Beemax kindly supply you with a magnetic screwdriver to assemble them with. The engine has hardly any wiring on it but all the wiring is mainly for the various control units which are on either side. Theres a lot of drilling to be done at various stages, ranging from 0.6mm to 1.2mm, so you'll need some good tools to complete it.
There is a 'Detail up' kit available for this , but as its over 100 euros I couldn't justify it (imagine if the Wife found out ..
!)
I did the body with Tamiya :"Camel Yellow" and a coat of Mr Hobby clearcoat. And every one of those silver rivets is a separate decal - about 80 of them....
Anyway, it'll be complete soon I hope.
