Pics forthcoming guys. As for glue, I'm using the Tamiya orange top glue and it is holding magnificently. CA glue has no sheer strength Bucky, I'd reconsider the type of glue you're using. I agree on the CA glue... the only time I use it is with photoetch as it is the only thing that will stick it besides Gator Glue!!!

Your project is looking very nice, Joe! I don't usually have trouble with the CA glue, and I have other types hanging about the ol' workbench. I'm gonna switch off for the rest of this build.

This is my work on my 1/24 scale 1929 Coca Cola Delivery Van that I got some time back for this mini Group Build with you two guys. You asked for the pics so here are all two of them. Of course, I started with the little four-banger motor: I then started on the chassis which needed to be assembled en toto and included eight pieces besides the engine itself. Here it is all assembled: The wheel hubs are just tightly fastened onto the metal axles; I can remove them later for painting. I just put them on the model here to line up the chassis and make sure all four wheels touch the ground.

Henry Ford's favorite color... But the body isn't gonna be black... unless my idea doesn't pan out!!! Only the fenders, bonnet and black leather roof…
