Made a start this afternoon with the lower hull. This is made up of four parts which fit reasonably well. Some flash is evident and I needed to trim the location tabs on the rear plate slightly as it was too tight.
The central spar in the hull is a locator for the swinging arms and gives a good positive fit. Each swinging arm has a small tab which fits into a slot on the hull which ensures they all line up. I decided to remove these tabs which makes the suspension workable. Hopefully this will help later on as I want to show a fully warmed up suspension system and I can adjust to suit.
The wheels look great and I do like the face they have the torque indicators as well. I'll beat these up later with some nicks and dents in the rubber running surfaces.
A quick test fit of the upper hull and I have a slight bit of spay on the front sides around the drivers station and the front hull joint is slightly proud. Nothing some clamping and filling won't solve later on.
