looks really nice - but I think you've got your tyres/wheels on back to front!

I installed them purposely that way so when it drives it the tracks point the way it is going a little idiosyncrasy of mine

in the old days of rock crawling, we would install tyres this way to increase traction over rocks and other hard objects.  You might find the treads get full and won't self-clear in thick mud, though ;)

Stunning paint job BTW, good work :)

Thanks Mad Ax it was difficult to do with the chrome silver and the black so close to each other on the quarter windows and even the chrome silver for the trim I don’t have the steadiest hand it’s not quite perfect but not too bad and I haven’t finished Albert yet either that is going to be a bit of a challenge

I just did the kit provided cheat with the decal but used a 2000 grit foam sanding pad to blend the edges of the decal so it was not noticeable prior to painting the shell and also after all other decals were applied I clear coated over the whole body
