You may also want to check the bracket that is holding the fender on. It has to be one solid piece. There is something strange is going on with the model part...

Alex he has not applied the bracket yet at the front which is why it looks odd, in the picture you only see the portions of the bracket that attaches the bracket to the body and fender

@Gary Thanks brother! mucho apreciated
@Alex The part on the front of the fender is not on yet as Darren pointed out.Still, thanks for the detail picture of this part, I'll make sure to make it look as close to that as I can. For now the fenders are just dryfitted on since i'm gonna paint them and the hull separetly.

thanks for comments gents.

A small update... Today I plugged some hole left by the missing fender length and also repaired the iddler tensionner bar that was cut to adjust tension in the tracks.

And I've done a small PE tool box that will go on the damaged fender.





Thanks for watching!

Matt! There is a couple of little glitch with this kit,but only minor issues. I think we covered them all on this thread, The harder for me was the iddlers since they where gluedup front like a newb You should definitly buy this kit! I would surely like too see you build it.

Kevin, thanks mate Have you done a build log? or a constructive feedback, it is always helpfull when doing a build you are not sure about....Like this one Hehe.really glad you find this thread usefull.
