Looks great!

Is the resin already cleaned and just needs fixing? Some resin kits have a lot of flash.

I think that they aren't... But xion has some parts on stock. And I was lucky to buy a new tyre for the Kettenkrad, too... :-)
Shucks Eddy...you know watching you build this... and JohnF do his... is like watching two guys eat some juicy Steaks...while eating a tuna sandwich :haha:
You will surely have something very cool to run about with when it's done ;)

Hi Alpha,

I put a post on about these 222s a while back with links to some suppliers.

If you cannot find my post I will find it.

I know this feeling, ALPHA... :-) I was looking for this kit for aprox year... And before buying I was in serious doubt to buy it or not... The price wasn't pleasant, but there's lot of fun to build it!!! Thanks God, there're lot of photos on the I-net to get necessary info. :-)
As for the future - I'd like to r/c Highway 61 truck and modify it a little bit. And I have half built Schwimmwagen, I try to use Tamiya Kubelwagens parts to make it run...

YOU HAVE A SCHWIMMER TOO :O ...........I've only seen photos of that one ....you're a lucky devil Eddy :D
The only four wheeled RC I have is a VW bug ....got it on Ebay...came with two bodies so easily one can go for an RC :D ...the only thing is I think the entire chassis will have to be done from scratch :crazy:
