Looks really good! I just bought this model but have a few other projects to finish before I can start on this one. Can't wait!

What glue are you using to put the model together?

I find the plastic frame rails are a little too flexy. I plan on replacing the plastic frame rails with steel ones. I'll be following your build closely.

Good show ! hope you'll have fun building it. I use most of the time super glue and epoxy on my model, i find it much stronger and easier to apply. As for the chassis, yes the existing one is a bit fragile and the plastic is tin in some areas, but were i had to mount the spring leafs i reinforce the interior of the frame or gap with metal washer or a small nut just to make it a little stronger.
Please keep us to date on your built, i would like to see how you do your project and don't be afraid to ask if you come to a problem.
Cheers,
