Construction Tips and Presentation

Features like dual headlights, a convincing suspension layout and a detailed drive-chain enhance realism. Metal fittings add structural integrity, making this model a strong display piece for enthusiasts.

What tools should I have on hand?

Basic modelling tools such as side cutters, precision files, hobby glue and fine brushes are recommended. A set of small screwdrivers helps with metal parts.
