As for the front forks, I have thinking about how the holes can be matched as the 2009 joint design was a lot different than the 2005 set.
I am planning to plant some plastic rods and cover it with similar color paint and then with the decal. Hopefully this trick will not be noticible at finish.
Some further work was done here on the chassis and weldings was also added with traditional AFV way.... Anyway, it is now much easier to do it in 1:12 scale than 1:35, LOL~~
Unfortunately, I have got a broken part with the kit, and so I guess I will get a replacement very soon.
I tried to set things up a little to see how the M1 is getting together~
