I remember PMMS has something about the suspension needs to be lowered and how to fix it. I need to go over there and refresh my memory. NOTE: The frame is to low and the road wheel arms need to be repositioned.

Hi,Tony Lee.

Are you going to show us some of your 'photo-etch magic' on this one? :mpup :mpup :mpup


Greetings,Ron.
 
Ron are you saying someone has a PE set out for these now?
There's a small fret with the kit.

Love that shiny stuff. :D

Hey Ron
I fired off an e-mail to them and ask what the skinny was on this PE set this morning.
Wonder if they're pulling our leg?
Griffon is the only brand they offer and the Griffon Model site doesn't mention a PE set for the "Diana".

Thanks
Tony lee :)
 
ODM means Original Design Manufacturer, meaning the kit has its own PE set.

Regards,
 
OK with the M-40 frame all fixed up I started on the Diana today.
The instruction have you starting with the frame work so I installed the upper halves of the cross members and then the front end assembly was next.

Here's the spring mount made up of nine parts:

According to PMMS,the review for this kit is listed above,an added error note was added telling us that the front axle is to narrow and needs 4mm added,2mm on each side. I cut the axle on each side between the wish bone and the spindles and added a 2mm spacer cut from the kit sprue since it's the same diameter
as the axle.
With the axle extended the cross over tie rod needs 4mm added to it as well,I used a stick of the same side rod for this.

I'll let the glue cure over night and dress these areas down tomorrow.

See Ya Then
