Finishing Construction


he last steps, 13, 14 and 15, cover the vehicle tools. This is also when almost all the photo-etched parts get used. The vehicle jack is a multi-piece affair but can not be shown extended. The tools are well done and have separate clips, from photo-etch or plastic which get added to each one. I found some of the clips had to much sprue to remove from such a small partt that I replaced them with sheet plastic as needed. The headlights now get clear lenses which i will add after painting. The wood beam is a balsa strip which I cut to size and is not inclued in the kit. I added the PE chains to the front at this point also.

Next is painting! YAHOOOOOO!
