279 - Tamiya BBX: Body Posts and Body Cracks

The slight mismatch between the upper and the lower body convinced me to use the body posts marked as "not used" in the BBX buggy manual in the attempt to reach a better alignement, in addition, today, watching the body I've noticed a pair of small cracks (showed in the pic below) that I suppose are caused by the force applied to free the body from the velcro (that is pretty tought) and that, if the box art decal are used, would be hidden.

Installing the body posts has been a quick work, body holes have been accurate reamed but a better support for the body sides is needed because there is a unpleasent gap between the sides and the upper body.

Front body post...

...  and side body posts.

Overview

Body with new holes reamed.

I've also "shortended" the antenna cable using a tie so the antenna pipe  lay under the cockpit roof.

Cant't wait to shoot some pics outside to give the right light to the metallic green.
