Hi Gavin, Ian, some of the issues im having with this build are....


No locating pins/lugs for front springs need to guess the position for them & hope front axle will locate correctly.


Spare wheel & carrier supplied, but spare wheel not to be used as no Tyre for it.


Bushes fitted inside of wheels to allow wheels to rotate to loose, & wheels are then floppy & look ready to fall off.


Nice big Chunky tyres which the wheels just Fall through so tyres will not stay on wheels,


Cab glazing is only the windscreen & door 1/4 windows.


Front axle tie rod fouls bottom of engine & stops the engine sitting on front mounting.


Rear axle tie rod had to be removed to allow fitting of rear anti-roll bar.


I am sure there will be more issues the further the build goes on... :( :( :( :( .


John.

Makes you wonder how did it (the model) make it to production??o_O


That is down right infuriating, when it becomes a nightmare to build!!:mad:


Good luck and "keep on truckin'"!!:rolleyes:
