Cool

I just started mine today
Your is coming along nicely. How has the fit been for you?
No problems for me yet but I am just a little behind you.
This is my first resin kit and so far I am enjoying it. Look forward to seeing how yours
Turn out
Cheers Mark

The assembly has been really good..there's a couple of places that need work around the rear of the turret but nothing major..to be honest I've had worse injection molded kits so for a resin kit this is great....

How did you stretch the chassis?
Any pics of the kit before assembly began?

The chassis was cut into 3 and lengthened to give a bigger spacing between the wheels. It's not 100% accurate but looks about right...she's starting to look like a firefly now...
