Hey Folks.
The kit is done, just had to do the wheels , clear coat everything and 2 antennas.
The only little trouble is the decal on the mirrors. Not easy but the fact that the microsol reacts well with the decal, it's ok.it melts a bit the decal so it's wraps arund the part more easily.
I'm really pleased with this kit, as no major problem appears. Note to Chongman, for you SA07. I thought too that the pushrods were too long but decided to let them as they were and at the end, I took the right decision coz i had to lower the whole front suspensions, otherwise the wheel wouldn't touch the ground. So maybe it will be the case on your super aguri.
So the kit is done, here are the pics; thanks for reading all this and your commentary.

Bye

Fantastic build Manu, I am still in awe of the decal work you have done.

On the push rod deal...sounds like I may have to rebuild them :cry: No worries though, easy to do and I will have learned a valuable lesson for the future!
