Moving along and finding a couple more anomalies in the instructions while assembling the engine.
Nevertheless it built up quite nicely although nothing will be seen once its all put together.
Added the fuel tank and associated protection with a bit of additional embellishment. It was at this point I noticed that I'd managed to break off what I think is a reflector from under the rear body. Nowhere to be found so that's something I will have to make a replacement for.
So we are now at the point where the splashing on of some paint will be required....... but first a little mock-up dry fitted.
And all the bits with a 5p for scale.
There are further challenges ahead. Look at this gear lever. Pretty much no chance of removing and cleaning that and keeping it intact!
Onwards and upwards. And thanks to all who are still following my sporadic updates.
