Thanks to help from a friend-modeller a got a new Miniart Mercedes-Benz 170V model. It`s fantastic. And I got it for a real low price. So, I`ve almost finished the engine. Here how it looks:
The chassis frame is really good because it is made in one piece, but there are quite a lot a mould seems on it, which you have to clean thoroughly. Miniart also provides comparably the best springs I ever seen moulded in plastic...
But as I only thought about cleaning them up, I decided that it would take less effort to make them out of wire.
