Rfm t80u

Started this yesterday. Not too much progress so far, just the basic hull and running gear. Sixteen sprues six of which are for the indy tracks. Single piece tracks with end connectors but individual guide horns. One clear sprue for optic’s and one PE fret. Great fit so far. Everything you’d expect with a state of the art kit, but there is a but. About half the road wheels have a rather deep groove down the center. Too deep for just a couple of swipes with a file. They need to be filled.
Thanks for stopping by.

Ouch! You’re getting at it. ET Model makes some nice 3D accessories for the T80.

On the suspension, is the black parts, metal or rubber springs?

Built this one recently - a really nice kit. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rubberish but not real rubber. Not as stiff as vinyl slightly springy but not actually rubber.

Some minor progress since yesterday. Not much bench time so far today. Got the wheels on and a partial track run done. The guide horns clip to the bar on the tracks. End connectors also connect a pair of tracks. Jig is provided but takes longer than just doing them without.
