Hello all! Almost a new year, time for a new build. I have been chomping at the bit to do this kit and I’m hoping to do it justice. This is a Model Factory Hiro kit in 1/12 scale. As always, I do appreciate all the positive feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks for looking Chris

Weather was just warm enough to paint a few parts and do a little assembly. I did spen a few evenings pre drilling and test fitting parts. The hose clamps where a bit tricky, but came out not too bad. Thanks again for checking in Chris Attachments:

I decided to do a little weathering to give the engine some depth, I am happy how it came out. I also decided to use RB motions spark plugs and boots over the kit ones.. more to come!
