Drug this out while I was waiting on other things to dry. Nothing at all to show. Seems to be a lovely kit so far. Body work is done and ready for primer. Megatron BMW is assembled and has some nice molded in detail.

The turbo and pipes on this thing are TRICKY. My suggestion to everyone has been to put the engine on the floor pan and use that as a jig to build the turbo. Otherwise, shit is all over the place and doesn't fit properly. Good luck! Oh, and I don't know on this A version, but on the B version, you basically had to display the kit completely opened or completely closed as I had to glue the 2 halves at the very tip of the nose. Should be pics in my BT52B photo album.

Thanks bossy. I did a dry fit of the body work and the nose for sure doesn't want to stay down at the tip. I foresee an issue there. I'll take your words to heart on the turbo. I was just looking at that section of the instructions with a bit of dread.

Yeah, like I said, if you go to display it "curbside", then you really don't have to worry about the turbo as, once you lock the two halves together, it will never be seen.

Good point. I'll likely go that route anyways. Not like I have the extra display room to have body panels off.
