Hello All,
I decided to put my C2 project aside for a while. I Have had this kit in the stash for a while and decided to give it a go. The idea was to build it out of the box.....well thanks to recceboy’s dvd set....that didn’t happen lol.

Nice work! Is that a Sharpie marker you used to outline the anti-slip areas? Use caution, I've heard it can bleed through the paint layers and mess things up...

Hi Roy,
The wiring and hydraulic lines are lead wire from Plus Model.
Jim, thank you for the heads up on the marker. The one I used wasn’t a Sharpy but I will take care when it comes to paint time!!

Great looking work, impressive details. Question: are you planning to correct the rear doors, as the should be flush?
