Besides, you're not allowed to say 'Tranny' anymore Lyle, it's 'Men with alternative dress sense'. :whistle:

Wow! I finally got caught up with this! What a chassis! It reminds me of a 1/72 scale MRAP I built awhile back, they seemed to have the same parts count in that chassis too! In fact I left about twelve parts off mine and nobody could tell what they were. Keep plugging Lyle, you got this!

Thanks, Mark. I can’t begin to imagine this parts count in1/72. Could you repost a pic?

Let me see if I can find it.....

Here it is. It doesn't look like it from this pic, but each axle assembly has in excess of 27 parts in it:

And that was just the beginning. Unfortunately I haven't got pics of subsequent assembly....

It is. A ton of parts....many of which will never be seen. Right now, It is sitting on the floor sort of in its box waiting for final assembly and final paint.
