They re oil pans. For catching dripping oil. Usually used when you do an oil change on a car at home. Typically moulded in black plastic. 

Aaa😵. That explains a lot. Thanks👍

This kit has been criticised of missing CIP panels. But this kit has one?! Instructions does not call this part at all. So they have rectified this matter...kinda. So now i must fabricate 2 more of these🧐

These wheels look extremely good, FA. Do you plan to weather/tear the rubber tyres? That hull tub looks gigantic. It will take half a bottle of cement to glue it shut :D.

Cheers Rob

Thank you Rob🙂. Yes  i am planning to weather tyres. Also get rid off that middle seam.

Just tested that my track length might be spot on.

This kit does not contain any suspension arm attaching srews. You supposed to just glue them in place and hope for the best. Luckily it is very easy to make some spacers and use random srews from tool box. Now i have possibily to fine tune stance if necessary.
