Started to glue the engine and the chassis.

Well, it wasn’t easy to fit those “Pegasus” wheels to the chassis but I did my best i think. After all it’s gonna be a display model and the
accuracy is not so important in this case I think. The wheels are not 100% centered and horizontal/vertical attached but I can rotate them in the
way they will be strait, avoiding wheels in the air, what I was afraid more of all.

Well I’ve started the body painting work, this time I’ll try to put one primer color and and two layers of main color. I’ve purchased some rubbing
compound and wax for cars and tried them on some painted plastic piece and looks fine so I’ll try to finish the body so it will shine well. Mean
time check the primer on the body.

In the same time I continued to work on the wheels, the rear wheels fall down so I had to think about a new way to attach them, you can find this
on the tutorial I’ll publish soon. Here are the pictures of the car with the front “brakes” attached waiting for the “Pegasus” wheels.

Here are the body and the hood. I wet sanded the primer color and painted, two, not completed layers with 20 minutes brake between each painting.
