I skipped the wheel step since I have Def. Model's sagged wheel set, and may I add, TOTALLY worth the investment.
The channel in the middle of the cowl needs to be widened by 2mm and I used a cylinder file to deepen it by around 3-5mm. This allowed the connected rods to sit and the cowl to sit flush on the hull
Also, as not noted in the manual, remove these nubbins with a razor or a file BEFORE you install the venting scoops
The optional side rails were straightened after this shot....not a necessary addition, but we'll see as the build continues. I'm sure the photo etch comes with the type A box armor which requires me to reroute the exhaust
I wanted to dry fit the wheels sooooo.....if you wanna hack off these posts cleanly, just use a razor saw and nice clean strokes
The sag makes it easy to set up for pics, that's for sure. A regular fine file helps to smooth/even out the ground contact
Make sure to clean resin parts in a mild detergent after they're cleaned up and fitted....room temperature water and some SimpleGreen seems to work great
Now for my heart attack.....yeah. That's really 16 frets of PE to be added on! LionRoar kits are no joke!
