The wheels
The wheels have poly caps fitted between the two road wheels. When trying to fit the wheels a problem occurred. The wheels would not fit onto the axles. The problem was the poly caps which were too small in width and simply rolled around inside the wheel halves! The solution was to cut open, carefully, every wheel with a razor saw, mount the inside wheel and then the poly cap followed lastly by the outer wheel. Strange. I wonder if anyone else has come across this same problem.
The engine
Meng provide a rather lovely rendition of the 1000hp V-92S2 diesel engine. Here you can see all the components ready for painting and assembly including the etch brass.
The engine components have been undecorated with NATO black and AK Black base for the metallic areas
The completed engine minus the etch brass heat shields which hide so much of that lovely detail! The engine sump is painted with Tamiya XF-8 Blue with an oil wash whilst the cylinder banks are AK aluminium with a thin wash of Tamiya X-19 Smoke.
