Mate, I'm doing full Murray Walker impressions while humming 'The Chain'.
Great work Bobby. I struggle with great big lumps of metal called tanks that have no innards, so can't imagine taking on anything as streamlined and good looking as this. Keep up the good work.

Looks to be worth the effort though. Exhausts look great.
I have to say, Tamiya's bog standard gun metal acrylic is just exquisite.
In this case it’s come out as well as Alclad!
Blimey, is it coming from Japan by rowing boat?
That or they have to build a time machine and get Chapman to knock it up.
Hi Andrew
I'm not really into race cars but I can certainly appreciate the patience and skill which you're putting into this build. Looking very good although very fragile. Shame about the seat. Some of the kit makers really do need to get their customer service sorted out.

Looking better and better Bobby. Im learning a lot from the technical descriptions as well. Great stuff!
I will indeed. I just have rigging to go but I need more space than currently available to do it. Once the small person has moved out, I'll have my desk back and will take on the challenge.
It's actually a lot sturdier than it looks. All those little spindly bits won't take any load - I think... This is one reason I avoid 1/20 cars, there's always something too weak to do the job.
OH im glad to hear that MR CONKERS as that ship was a work of art in my opinion
chris
Too kind.
