You're a glutton for punishment, but I'm sure it'll look good.

So far I've fitted the early suspension, cut the kits track guard which is to thick and cut out the transmission cover ready for the early bolted type. The bolted transmission cover is in now in place and the new photo etch track guard is trapped between the upper and lower hull. some pictures to explain it better.

Done a bit more, also bought a set of Friulmodel early Scimitar tracks, so might take sometime to finish.
