Thoughts

Only three parts and a few screws and this stage is finished! I am very grateful that Fanhome/DeAgostini chose to make the Rear Axle of this model out of metal. There are a few partwork vehicles with plastic rear axles and I fear they may not be able to withstand the weight of these heavy models over time.
