A very nice job, and a good colour match - what paint is it?

Now this I like.
I've been told the Duster chassis doesn't fit this body too well. Did you have any problems?

i made the master from a duster with the intention of using the duster chasis as it is almost identical to Aussie Valiants, it does however need a little shaved of each side and a bit taken of the rear end to make a neat fit, the hardest bit is to get the interior to sit over the chassis neatly so it all fits into the body as it should, some grinding and filling is required to make this happen, this was my first attempt at casting an interior, now i make them a little shorter so they fit into the body without fouling on the chassis.

Thanks dv8v8.
I had similar problems getting the Fireball 500 tub to sit down low enough onto a Duster chassis. The trans tunnel was the problem. It can be made to fit but the plastic of the tub ends up wafer thin.
