Hi Mushroom,
I disregarded the 'paper' spoke and did a simple cotton spoke wheel ...

Hi all here,s the Engine,exhaust pipe and radiator assembly,s.

Hi mushroom,
nice progress pictures
If I remember correctly I found the exhaust tricky to fit , but may just have been my awkward hands
how are the wheels coming along...?

Hi Don ,there not coming along at all,have put them down and gone back to the rest of the build.

Hi mushroom,
I think you have to be in the right 'head space' to do them, they do seem very fiddly...perhaps the pieces are not quite right,
how do you cut? I always try to cut 'on the line' but for some models you have to 'take the line out' , do they seem fractionally big? this would cause them to 'miss shape' on assembly if the lines need to be 'cut off'.....
I also found the exhaust fiddly

regards
don

That could be the problem, i,m cutting some bits on the line and some times cutting the line off, need to be more carefull at what i cut, thanks Don
