At least the assembly, still have to do the final set up.
The camera angle makes it look like there is too much toe in/out but it’s not as bad.
The body has a few areas of overspray which was entirely avoidable (and expected). I got to starting the body yesterday afternoon and since we have cold weather moving in wanted to get it done, so I rushed parts of the masking a little and by the time I got to the last color the sun had already set. Painting in the dark doesn’t fall in the “good idea” category, but by the time it got dark I had the choice of either stopping or finishing it, and thinking it’s-my-first-one-so-we’ll-call-it-a-practice-run-until-I-do-the-real-one I kept going, but it turned out fairly OK - to me at least.
I’ve got a Hudy set up station on order which has been out of stock for a few weeks, so I’ll do the big tuning now and the final tweaking when the Hudy arrives. I definitely don’t need that with my skill level (or no skill level), but if you do something do it right…
Thanks for the answers to my many questions along the way. I’m looking to start another build, but my EB48 has also been on back order, so I may just get started on a MT410 which seems to be in stock everywhere…
