RWG686 40,788 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Did some work on the body by making an impression of the tool kit on the left hand side and started the instrument panel. Sorry about the photos. I really need to fix the phone camera but need a 7lb hammer and I only have a 5. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RWG686 40,788 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I've installed the front bulkhead and added some more plumbing. I hope that this deviation from the kit instructions doesn't bite me on the backside later. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RWG686 40,788 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Not a lot to show tonight. Stuck the front seats in and added some more struts between the bulkhead and body. They've been painted. Handbrake, entry step and spare wheel holder also addd. I couldn't resist sticking on the wheels. Now I should just have sat them on but oh no..who needs instructions? It is now going to be a complete sod getting the mudguards on. Already broken one of the moulded on struts so may consider replacing all of them with copper wire. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not any more it isn't However after some carefully detailed reconstruction bodging it was soon back together and had a few bits added. The rear cover is just primed to see how much still needs sorting (quite a lot!) The headlights have a protective grill in front of them. The kit has them moulded on clear plastic but on the inside face so the outside is smooth which is a pity as it would look not too bad dry brushed. I'm trying to sort the look by using the same mesh I used for the fuel tank, radiator grill and carburettor cover. Will see how the kristal clear dries. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RWG686 40,788 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Well, that's my second ever car done. Don't tell @DC3 but I actually enjoyed it. As to accuracy...well it looks ok and I'll leave it at that. Stuck a couple of photos in the gallery for you to judge. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
