Looks superb andy , i see what you mean about delicate bits , some very fine mouldings there. Did they ever make these with a bonnet covering the engine ? Seems like asking for trouble leaving all the motor exposed like that . Mind you it makes for a more interesting model !

Never seen a picture of one with a bonnet although there are a few with a full length wriggly tin roof fitted, probably an aftermarket fit rather than a manufacturers product. Sorry for using the wriggly tin description but I can't spell corrugated!

Moving along at a snail's pace with this thing. Mixed up some paint today, it's grey with a tinge of blue which is as near as my limited skills can get to pictures of the real thing I have seen. Does not show too well in the picture but I think it will do for me, now to decide on leaving it mint just painting the levers, seat, etc or giving it a right doing with muck and a bit of rust.

Looks great with a coat of paint. Really shows how intricate it is and how well put together.

Really great looking piece of kit

Doing my head in is this, just can not seem to get the effect I am looking for.

I will have to darken that exhaust manifold and perhaps throw another mucky wash at it and call it done.

Andy,
My apologies mate I had completely missed this. Just caught up from the beginning. That is a great build mate.
