Come on , little by little , it all adds up , for the time being a few small scale screws for the Gear Head .

 

And now , the most tedious task , at least for me , of this project . Although I will take an rc4wd cabin, because this one from tamiya looks like a colander, there are now no Marlin version beds, so I have to cut and paste, since it is not the first thing I do, I already know what to do and what not to do, Let's see if it's better than the last one hehehehehe

More parts have arrived, for now I have been able to adjust front links including panhard and its support.
Definitely, I will put smaller tires, it will go very low and with Currie axles, with the pitbulls it rubs when going wider than with yota axles.

The quality of the screws and the aluminum and its machining are excellent, but with the price they have and seeing the rest of the manufacturers, putting plastic rims seems like a ****ty thing to me, it happens to me like with the Vanquish rims KIT. At 1000€ they could really put aluminum...

Second color in progress, nothing to do with what you see in the photo, it's a three-coat and until the varnish is done you will not see the authentic color ... if someone knows the paint 1 /1 , it will know what color it is...hehehe

It's going to have to repeat the painting, it has many flaws and the dark gray should be gray not blue, but in September the painter is going on vacation, so I'll take advantage of August for the last adjustments to the wheel arches at the expense that they reach me the slw185 hexagons of locked-up:
