Two pages of diagrams





Here one more in detail, gives an idea of what lies beneath the engine cover! As mentioned in the feature, this cover is removable and, this way, not lose sight of all, or at least a significant portion of this assembly, engine, gearbox, differentials.





Three pages of parts








I'll paint completely the model which implies that I have to create many more parts to replace any design that will be lost.

The first parts follow these diagrams. It’s the rear frame.





And here they are, some equipment is already built.





Apart from those that have to be on standby, the set is mounted. Viewed from the front

My oh my! Did they sell you a grease gun and some gasket sealant! What a model! You doing quite the job on it! Are you planing to color the edges, I have a couple of Yellow Sharpie Pens that I think are really close. Very cool!!
