This has gone together really,really well. I was expecting flash, & fit issues as its a rerelease. No such issues.

I've added front brake hoses & BMF'd the calipers, Detail Master disributor, belts from masking tape.
The interior got pedals & a fire wall added.  Tamiya Red & White for the paint.

Nice one Chris.

The Tobias chassis can be a tad tricky to assemble but you have done a great job.

It went together very easily, Al. Still some roll cage components to fit, they go in after the interior & engine.

Buck, the dizzy is a Detail Master aluminium one. Machined aluminium body & PE top plate giving you 4, 6 or 8 cylinders.
Comes with loom holders & a base clamp to. Ditto wire & plug boots.

Cheers,

Chris

Update.Belts from tape & with some surplus PE bits. Added a radiator overflow, its the kit magneto
recycled. Engine is wired & I added a starter cable. Extractors ( headers) are part box. And exit right in the middle of the nerf bar support! It's mostly hidden, but I might just snip the support & add tips to the extractors.

It's more enjoyable when the kit works with you and you're working the kit really nicely.
