    I try to use the part #71708 as the nose of the front bodywork, it was not easy to connect it with the other parts behind. The far right is most possible & looking good setup but it didn't connected to the 7L liftarm.

    This is the final design of the compact steering system, it has the same width as the original set. More sturdy and bigger turning angle.

    Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it. Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it & try to get it works.

    Note: The white panels will be replace with a yellow one when I have got it on hand.

    After reviewing the last condition, I found that the engine are 1 stud behind. So I rework the mounting position & now it have the same position as the original set.(4 studs from the seat) I also move the pivot point for the rear engine hood 1 stud closer to the seat in order to utilize the fake pneumatic arm. I replaced the flex axle with panels to form the side bodywork (bottom part) & extend it to cover the exhaust system. Following are the comparison Rear view Front view Side view I also put a similar opening button to open the engine hood behind the seat, so it can be push in order to open it. Rear view with opening engine hood. Height comparison Rear height (Air intake) Front height (Cockpit)

    Thank you for your kind words. I'm trying to convert the overall look of the model with the panels, I also try to keep the original dimension in the conversion. I will consider & look for the same size new wheel.

    3.Front bodywork & Cockpit (monocoque) I use the new lego technic panel to replace the studded brick to form the bodywork, the result is the width get increment of 1 studs at each end. The Front wing section can be detach as the real one. I also change the supporting structure for the front wing by removing the side support axle in the original set, so now it looks more clean.(without sacrified the sturdiness) Note: I have not received my yellow panels, so I use the white one instead. This will be replace after I got the yellow one.

    I keep the original size, so this is even build involving a lot of even-odd conversion building technique. You can use my approach for the steering system, you have to replace part of the front bodywork with the steering system.(can not use a long liftarm, should be split into 2 part) I do a small changes to the steering system, now it looks more compact & the arm is looking more stand alone.(without connectors in the previous one) This changes also make it possible to dismount the front bodywork like the real one.

    2.Chasis (Frame) with engine & steering. This picture shows the studded one (right) & the studless one (left). Both are at the same size.

    While waiting for my yellow panels arrive, I am going to do comparison between the original set & my studless build, so I will build the set & rebuild the studless one more time. 1.Engine comparison: Original set on the left, studless on the right. The mounting for the studless got extend 1 stud at each end, so it add 2 studs to the total length of the engine. The 1x8 plate replaced by a 6L axle, the mounting bricks replaced by 2x Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double (part #32291) & an Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular (part #6536) at the center for the drive shaft. The engine mounting consist of 2x Liftarm Thin 1 x 2 - Axle Holes (part #41677) connected by a 2L axle with 1x Liftarm Thick 1 x 2 - Axle Hole (part #60483) in perpendicular way. The driving gear also replace with the new 1x Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel (part 32269)

    Thank you. I am planning to do the same color as the original, I have order it but maybe it will took a months to deliver.

    New engine setup with complete exhaust system : New bodywork same as the original set
  13. dickylaban
    Thank you for your advice. You're right, this build is my approach to get the recreated model so I build it in white. I will consider to build it red or yellow. I still working on the bodywork, I try to replicate the real one with the scale of the 8445.
  14. dickylaban
    Thank you. I'm sorry, unfortunately I didn't have yellow parts to create this. Maybe I'll do it in red, still under consideration.
  15. dickylaban
    Thank you. Yes, I also noticed that the side of the center air intake is too high, so I lower it 1 studs & it looks more streamline. I'll post the picture tomorrow.
  16. dickylaban
    I found the nose was too thin, so I modified it. I also re design the mounting of the front wings, now it looks more solid.
  17. dickylaban
    Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately I'm not the sticker fan. I keep my build clean & I only do color combo when it is possible.
  18. dickylaban
    This is the only one replacement for the pneumatic.

    @Jim Thank you. Here's the other picture
  20. dickylaban
    @Jim I mean I just finished build this morning, I start building since 6 June. This is not an old build, please check my previous post.
  21. dickylaban
    @BrickBuildingFox No, I use this one :
  22. dickylaban
    The Indy Storm has already done in white, I'm not sure if this can be submitted. @Jim : can this qualified as an entry ?
  23. dickylaban
    Studded frame in half (top) & the new studless version on bottom. Every position is replicated carefully, the gear box has to be modified due to the new mounting & gears. (but it still has the same position as the original)
  24. dickylaban
    The front section already done, the steering system mounted at the same condition as the original set. The steering works perfectly as the original set. I didn't have yellow panels, so I decided to build my entry in white. The engine mounting is rebuild same as the original one but in studless.

    I just try to mount the driving axle for the steering system. To mount this module, I'm planning to replace the axle with a longer one.
