I've struggled today with the model trying to get the rear axles fitted square and level. Lots of fiddling & swearing finally got the buggers in position. Nothing seems to be in the correct location and there are lots of these issues to deal with. For example the rubber tyres just don't want to sit on the rims properly so I think the only solution is to glue them in place. I'm not even going to attempt to remove the seam lines on them! I'm starting to get fed up with the constant need to fill, sand and repeat. Every part so far has needed some form of correction and it's starting to test my enthusiasm for the project. Only a pint or two of Sharps Doombar seems to be doing the trick at the moment!
Lucky this is a winter project as it may take all winter to complete!
il est important de poncer les pneus pour enlever la brillance et la soudure, ensuite il faut les remplir de papier mouchoir pour qu'il épouse la jante! ce n'est pas la peine de les coller. 190/5000 it is important to sand the tires to remove the shine and solder, then they must be filled with tissue so that it marries the rim! it's not worth sticking.
