    This just in, PE parts en route OH BOY! I had done one a couple years back but wasn't happy with it, now that my skills have advance I wanted to do another, I got the original kit cheap and cant wait to sink my teeth in it 🙂

    The decals were a nightmare. I’m going to try and do the cutaway like on the box art.

    Great entry, Cricket @bikequeen
    Looking forward to see this one, especially the cut out version, does not look like that is going to be easy.

    THank you John @johnb the first one wasn’t easy but it was a pity to cover all the fantastic detail so I’m looking forward to this one….probably take me a a couple weeks 😉

    @ssgt thanks Jay, i live in a small town and it’s easier to build models than sit on the couch and watch the tube….plus I’m OCD 🙂

    @jdtruby @fiveten it will be some work…a good late spring early summer project once we are out of the evil weather patterns 🙂

    And we’re off! Added all the chassis sub assemblies and painted the first coat of paint (properly this time, white). Then added the flat black to the inside tub.

    Have to keep checking the box to see what needs to be cut away 🙂

    That's a good start, Cricket @bikequeen
    Better to check twice or more, you can only cut away too much once.

    It looks really nice with the black paint, Cricket (@bikequeen). When cutting stuff, my guide has always been to measure twice, cut once, curse, then go get some glue to fix your mistake.
