Thanks Alan, HobbyBoss's White is next on my build list and the headlight pictures that's great to know about the external wiring. Any motor pictures by chance? Thank you again ! Tom

Sal, it's a really nice kit if you're looking for one of these scout cars. A little more complicated than Tamiya, but it shouldn't be a headache to you like the MiniArt Dingo was. I think you'll like it

Hi Sal, first offf I don't want to hijack Alan's great photos. The reaason I asked about the motor was that Hobby Boss gives you a pretty complete motor but there is no radiator. Just a pannel with a hole for the fan.
The only HB kit I ever did was a Pershing and I was happy with it. NO heavy duty frame construction. So in a perfect world it should be flat & square.
Soon as the Ariete is done then it's on to the White Late Scout Car.
