A general start today, made up the water jerry cans for the side of a hole adding the right top. Thin down the two side stowage boxes. Made up to spare wheels, drill centres out added stud holes / retaining bolts and backing plates.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n[/ATTACH]
Before and after.

Great build progress Pete, I can see why Simon couldn't start as he wouldn't know where to improve on a totally distorted kit to look toonish. :tears-of-joy: Still I'm sure he appreciated these little gems and envied your builds.

Cheers,
Richard

Cheers Richard I hope so, he always referred to them as Pete's bonkers builds but in a complementary way, it's so sad I'll never read that again:sad: .

Cleaned up all the hull filling.
