mark, the 'wrap-around' suspension parts aren't actually on this kit. they were on the FW19 and FW20 i built. i think most people would agree though, that PE is a good thickness for 1/43 suspensions.

paul, do you have any pics of the vise that you carry? interested to see what it looks like if you could post one or two.

the story so far...

body ready for painting:

the challenging all-PE undertray (another mist coat of TS29 to come - - which will get rid of the sanding marks):

the wheels (sorry, crappy pic):

suspension is ready to go:

some other small bits ready for the final assembly:

Looking good Mr G,those wheels look like a real pain with the green stripe.Looking forward to see the body painted and decaled.

Regards,Gary

I think the PE under tray looks really great and spot-on for the scale. I'd wish Tameo would do them like that for all the kits. It wouldn't be necessary to file away the thickness of the white metal parts.

looks cool.Strange about the PE undertray.Did they do that on the kits? just an attempt on those ones?
