    Yay. The 5 lug conversion was stolen from the later model SN 95 (93-04) gen. Mustang. So as the brake system. But the performance times are over, now I'm going to discard the Griggs torque arm and heavy coilovers for a cushy ride. It's never gonna be as comfy or fast as my S550, but it's not supposed to be. It is an overgrown ford Escort, based on lack of logic, aesthetics and reason. Rachael wants to keep it, so be there. If it was up to me, I would torch it and send it to Russia. Oh and I'm gearing down to 3.55s as well,..... in my eyes , capital waste of money.

    I’m After more than a decade I pull this turd out of storage and had the “out of province” inspection done. now for the hard part. Front end is loose like grandpa’s shorts, I have a whole bunch of electrical issues, steering pump whines like Russian conscripts so as the fuel pump. In short, lots of work ahead. I’m probably 8 grand away from a decent ride.

    This is exactly how I felt about the Kotare Mk.1, easy and trouble free build. Will follow with interest Peter .

    indeed T80 , rubber backing, double pin. 6 pieces per link, clean up was the time-consuming part. perhaps 4 hours. the assembly was easy. now to the actual model, which should be fun. well, tomorrow.

    RLE on my right eye should help somewhat.

    I actually severely damaged my eyesight , dealing with the consequences as we speak.

    Cool stuff, the amount of imaginative engineering that goes to those models is stunning.

    Thank you Carl, I just started Andy's E-8 and it's a night and day difference. Absolute joy to build. And great canvas for some obsessive detailing. Aiming for this at the end.

    Such an ugly duckling of a plane, but at the same time really cool, especially that splinter scheme. Looking really good Scott. 👍 Edit: check out the F-22 in the background, it looks like it has some super dark haveglass gunshipgray going on there

    There were no beads at all to start with. I messed them up on the fenders, having no time to fix it before the show, they look little odd. Honestly , there's so much more to add and correct and at this scale possibilities are endless.

    Thank you Paul. I would love to see yours finished. In matter of fact your build was the main reason why I bought this kit. Cheers M.

    This is a very basic kit that requires lots off additional work. such as: - added missing wiring - added missing return fuel lines - added rivet detail on the commander cupola ring and exhaust shielding - reworked all the storage container fasteners, fuel drum straps - replacement of the light guards - adding the mud guards/ fenders - reworking the mantlet cover - adding bore sightings points on the crown of the gun, plus drain plug with few extra fasteners etc. - welding seams -additional detail for NSV , Utyos machine gun - adding locks on cupola hatches - making antenna whip out of brass tubing and monofilament and Mmmmany others. Did I enjoy it, yes. Would I do it again. Probably not.

    Amazing, I had no idea that this was even considered as a possibility at the time. Thank you for sharing Maru.

    I was kinda hoping that the blondie would try too.😇

    Not jealous… with my eyes fading I feel the need to scale up
