Its waiting for new gears, the plastic ones shredded very quickly - AnDel told me that they had a faulty batch sent to them, the new chassis for it will have metal gears as with ffion. I'll update when something happens!

Hi Zach,

The choppers are just a pair of tenmille ones with the brass hook and bar fitted through the pivot point the space being mad for the chopper by cutting out 2 of the flat pieces in the weights front and back. I just used Halfords cherry red car spray to paint it. The checker plate in the cab is from Swift sixteen and the lamp brackets are GRS. Ive got a few little things to do to finish it off but its good enough to run.

I like what youve done with yours, I did have a few ideas about what to do with mine but as usual it was after the glue had set.

Steve
