Got into some serious building today. As Mark has already indicated in his build blog, there are a lot of small parts that like to shoot across the room! The instructions are busy and it is very easy to get something the wrong way round as there are very few locating tabs that are tight and positive, most are loose and allow lots of room for malalignment.
As seen above, I got the rear axel all mixed up. My first hint was when it impinged on the fuel tank. Unfortunately I has cemented it in place before the rest of the transmission. As you can see, the rear prop shaft was not going to line up
Had to take to it all with a micro chisel and take it apart again and try the other way round
Still not sure why you need 14 parts to make one rear axel assembly, could have been done in 3 or 4. This kit follows the trend of Kit Makers breaking things down into smaller and smaller parts. With modern moulding techniques I can't see why this is necessary, I suspect it is all about boasting about the parts break down
Lots of smaller subassemblies are in process, I suspect I bit off more than I expected with this wee kit!
