No pictures this time, but I have 1 side left to go. The baskets on the side are a pain to install. For a good walk around reference I found this site last nite.
Now for the bad news. There are little protuberances all around this vehicle. I got the 4 on the glacis losing only 2 in the process. I just realized that the reason you get so many is there are 26 per side to apply. These things are less than a mm long and attach to a lite dimple on the body. I dont recommend this kit for people like me who have issues with their hands or weak eyesight. I am not sure how I will proceed at this point.
For discussion purposes.
You can see what they look like on the real thing in this picture.

Lookin' good James,
Nice clean build, I'm anxious to see the paint on it!

Some more done. This is becoming a frustrating kit. I truly believe they have over engineered it way out of proportion. Of course that could just be me.
I think I have 5 more bolts or whatever to do on this side. You can see the pieces here.
And after this I have the headlights. I think 18 pieces to make 2 headlight assemblies and almost all of it is pe. Fast losing interest in this kit.
