Side braces for roof arms, can't install until the body comes together...



Roof track, tried the copper, nope, checked my styrene, nothing thin enough, so Tamiya tape it is, will have to glue in place. Should look better painted. Will see about the rear bottom once I figure out the folded top!

.. doesn't seem like much for an evenings work, but I'll take it!

So here's the plan:
Approximate the roof mechanism with brass rods, use resin rivets as bolts, finalize and install roof at the end, once the chasis and body pretty much done.

Test

• Flatening of rods
• Drilling of brass
• Drilling of rods

So far so good!
