Moving along, sort of.
Wheels are the usual Profil 24 delights, consisting of photoetched wires and turned rims, although one of the resin tires fractured as I pushed the rim through. The hubs, made of resin as per usual, are the weak spot and attaching the wheels will likely require lots of 5-minute epoxy.
I glued both doors shut as the photo-etched hinges are atrocious and flimsy, and I didn't feel like making my own; the interior will be perfectly visible anyway.
Paint (the usual TS-8 Italian Red) over Tamiya pink primer went on well and there have been no screw ups, yet. Thanks to lots of Micro Sol, decals went on OK, including the one draped over the right rear fender.
The interior panels got their aluminum paint via brush after the top coat was final.
Gearing up for body and chassis assembly, and final trim (lights, windshield, grille, etc.) The potential for large gobs of CA glue remains high. Stay tuned!
