Default That FAT......

Hi there

The Tamiya FAT is not just oversized.

Originally produced in Japan as a motorized kit, the entire front end was dicked around with so the motor would fit.
The entire model is about 5-6 mm too wide for the same reason.

I'm working on a cab-12 Chevrolet 2-pounder portee using the Tamiya AND Italeri FAT kits and I've chopped and channelled the parts till there is very little left.

I just plug away, repeating to myself: "Its only a hobby, its only a hobby..........

Steve
