Just started watching this thread. Wow, but lots of head scratchers with ill-fitting parts that needs filling and sanding. Looking good Thomas!!

Thank you all, guys!
Indeed working on those boogies will take it´s time, but hey: this is a hobby!

Two boogies finished with a third one with filler drying...
Primed the engine´s cooler on Tamiya gloss black. No picture needed here, you may have an idea how gloss black looks like, eh?
I also partially assembled the road wheels and a few minutes ago gave them a wash in 99% iso alcohol to degrease them. A safety measure, and as an experiment for a coat of Vallejo primer later.

Wow! 14 days later...
Spend the time applying a coat of Vallejo´s Panzer Grau (tank grey) primer on the road wheels. Next time I will make use of a brighter colour; took ages to apply at least eight thin coats of AMMO´s Panzergelb (tank yellow). Wheels are drying now. Pictures to follow.
AMMO says their paints would be dry after 24 hours. Well, I have airbrushed the rear engine bay wall in red brown primer about two weeks ago. Makes me unsure because I still can smell the paint on this part... Didn´t have this on Tamiya or Gunze.
7 out of 8 boogies cemented, filled and sanded...

What, your camera is broken ? Oh yeah, a Canon. Never mind.
Some pictures would be nice. Even better would be if they were of this project.
