Lower Hull Interior - part 1
I fitted the interior tub into the AFV Club lower hull. This was a little tricky as initial test fitting of the AFV Club lower and upper hull found it to less than positive, there was a lot of play between the two parts. So a lot of test-fitting, sanding, more test-fitting was needed. It was finally fixed in place with CA glue.
The top of the firewall was added next, I braced the back to provide a more solid fit. The join was sanded and painted in Mr. Surfacer; the fit was pretty good. The two oil cooler pipes and mounting plates did not line up, as can be seen in the photograph. I have sanded off the right side ones and left the left to illustrate. I'll sand this one off too and replace both with a piece of sheet stock and some solder for the pipe.
I added some sheet stock to the inside of the front where he final drives sit. I did this to correct the gaps on each side between the final drives on the transmission and the side walls. I still have to sand down the putty.
Next I can start to add the detail parts to the interior. |
