The devil is in the detail!

It may not look that different to yesterday but the devil is in the details so they say! I have to admit that I did look up the Google AI definition of 'Devil in the detail' and it read - The idiom "the devil is in the details" means that something may appear simple, but the details are actually complicated and could cause problems. It's used to warn or remind people to pay attention to all the details of a situation to ensure success. Well I think that definition covers both the kit and me!

Anyway, back to the kit and the details relate to more brake linkages and steering linkages.

I don't think that I have built a kit with so many rods to it but at least most are now in place. What is evident is that each wheel was braked separately by a foot lever on either side of the gearbox which must have been interesting to operate.


The instructions were also lacking with the positioning of the stub front axles which I initially glued wrongly but luckily worked out that was wrong before the glue set.

I believe, that the rest of the construction is very much wheel and body work focused if the instructions are to be believed! In the meantime I will let the glue set before moving onto that stage.

I might be letting the glue dry but the devil in me could not resist just trial fitting the radiator and one of the rear mudguards!
