    Completed step 14 building up the front body section of the M16. I’m really impressed with the fit of this old kit. I’ve had no issues what so ever!

    Assemble the rear body bulkhead in step 12. Not sure I’ll fold the panel as shown or not!!
  3. RalphSarc
    Another fiddly affair!! Cutting, folding and aligning the hinges so the door halves appear to be open!! As seen in step 17.
  4. RalphSarc
    Wow it fits!!!

    Sometimes I think kit manufacturers build “torture” into there kits just for the fun of it??

    This morning I returned to step 6 and installed the exhaust pipes and muffler on the chassis. A little rust effects and some heat blueing and it’ll look the part!

    Thanks Kevin. I was pleased with the results. It’s a fun kit.

    Thanks we’re very pleased to have a Class A. It is like a one bedroom apartment on wheels!!

    I’m a boomer too, lol!!! I started the BAF 10 years ago.

    Good Morning Peter. Sadly no update on the kit however I just purchased a 2016 Fleetwood Flair 29T Motorhome that I’ve been playing with, lol!!

    Thanks Peter. I enjoy researching the history of each kit I build. The Basement Air Force on FB is having a three month long Century Jet group build if you’d like to join in?

    Thanks it’s getting there. I need to rust up the exhaust system and weather the chassis a bit plus start the body itself.
  13. RalphSarc
    Thanks so much. I actually missed seeing it on the ground for cleaning and refurbishing at the Smithsonian. However saw in once before in it’s slightly worn look.

    Test fit of front tires and tracks to check alignment. Looking good!!

    Chassis priming!

    Coming soon, lol!!!
  18. RalphSarc
    Yes that’s how I keep track of the parts I install so I don’t miss any!! Been doing it for years.
  19. RalphSarc
    Yeah I’m very pleased!!

    Thanks Peter. I’m extremely pleased with the fit of this aging kit. It’s almost as good as a new tooling!!! If I get a chance I’ll prune and paint the chassis then I can begin weathering it before starting the truck body.

    Chassis assembly completed. Lots of fiddly parts but again the fit was perfect making it a joy to assemble.
  22. RalphSarc
    Finished the track boogie assembly along with adding several parts to the chassis.

    Thanks Jeff. The kit comes with a decal sheet plus I have an additional CAF decal sheet.

    Continuing the chassis build up and of course a few roadwheels. Really amazed at the flt of all the parts. I’ve encountered absolutely no issues so far. Like a said early some parts and a few seams required a bit of cleanup but certainly nothing major.
  25. RalphSarc
    Skipped forward to step 10 and mounted the front axle and steering mechanism to the chassis. Even with the kits age all the parts fit perfectly.
