You put the chain in backwards. The links should be facing the other direction. FYI

I posted these on the Tamiya Club over the past several weeks, but after finding this site recently I figured I'd share here as well. All three cars were torn down, cleaned up, and refurbished. I placed a few new parts here and there and all three got new repro Marwan bodies that I painted/decal'd. ...
