bossy122 Hobby Design thought they'd have a laugh and do the fan blade assembly backwards on the instructions. I had wondered why there was a solid piece on the top. I caught on and had to flip what I had accomplished over. Haha! Very funny.

Spanjaard ha ha ha. result is quite good

bossy122 All so i could bury it deep in the black of the bonnet. Oh, well.

Spanjaard You know it's there

bossy122 The guys at the contests with their dental mirrors and magnifying glasses would see it, no doubt.

Spanjaard indeed

bossy122 Started this some time ago....now to assemble the body.

bossy122 For something I was just going to "slap together".....i've gotten a little carried away.

Peter Hardy Well, I might benefit from a few lessons if that is your idea of a slap together!

bossy122 No, something I had intended to do in an hour ( the chassis) has turned into 5 plus days! And now I get to wrap the harness ends around the roll cage from the inside out....need to slap myself!

Peter Hardy The plan Bossy! Stick to the plan!

Spanjaard looks good the hell with the plan

bossy122 Plan is long since gone....Almost done with the ad libbing.

bossy122 The one hour job is done 10 days later! ( Although, technically, I started the kit in 2011 or 2012, so.....DONE!) I think I may been better off in '12 when I could see the PE pins without nearly the problems of the modern day.

Spanjaard It looks really good

bossy122 That was a gorgeous car in those markings. Explains why i'll do a 3rd version of the Rally Finland car with the gravel set up ( whenever the decals bother to show up). What I noticed, that I thought was funny; I wasn't keen on sanding out mold seams back when I started this one. I had thought i'd sanded all the seams on the cage out but the camera says otherwise!

Peter Hardy Stick to the plan Bossy! Seams are the enemy and must be destroyed!!

bossy122 Next one for sure!

Spanjaard nice

bossy122 I finally acquired a new sheet of these ( very old) decals. See if I can keep this set from crumbling like the previous very old decals.

bossy122 Off with the old, on with the new.

Spanjaard i would have scanned the set before using it... with some work on the computer, you can create a new set, and have it printed, in new paper. for example I got one set for my BMW Pooh jeans... i doubt that the original decal set can be found. and i did not even need to do the computer work

bossy122 Slight fit problem.......looks like a grey whale.

bossy122 Sssssslight fit problem, right out of the gate.
