" I have added a bit of wiring but it is only for effect." Only for effect? You mean it doesn't actually work? I'm shocked.

The bulkhead has had some pipework added. and been fitted to the chassis.

Love the plumbing, but the chair is amazing.

 

[scottie3158]

Thank you Paul.

One nice touch with this kit is the louvres in the bonnet sides. They are nicely moulded allowing the openings to be seen on the inner face. The down side is the catches are moulded on, so I thought they could be improved a little.

What a difference Scottie.

The rest of the bonnet is assembled.

One thing this kit does suffer from is huge ejector marks. Can anyone recommend a descent filler I bought some AK green stuff but it's useless. It either peels out of shallow fills, it doesn't go hard and it shrinks.

Love that bonnet hinge Scottie.

For the ejector marks, could you glue in some punched discs?

Nick

 

[scottie3158]

Nick, that's what I normally do but these were not that deep so just decided to go for the filler.

 

[stillp]

I like the Humbrol filler. Sands well, sticks well.

I just use Plasto Paul. I hate the green stuff. Even the plasto does shrink a bit depending on how much you use but I just top up any shrinkage cracks with a liquid plastic putty and then sand.

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks Steve, I may give a tube of that a go. I used to use the squadron green stuff which was excellent then they changed the formula and it is a s bad as the AK stuff.

I have been working on the storage locker. had a root round in the bits box and put some clutter in. The missing panels will be added when nearly finished so I don't keep knocking them off.

Work has continued on the chassis.


the flatbed is the next step. There are four wheel chocs stored under the end of the bed. The kit ones were rather simplistic so I have replaced them. One has the chocs in place the other is empty as I will have them in place under the wheel later on. The empty one I have left a bit battered due to wear and tear.


Finally the locker detail was replaced.



cheers

Utterly bonkers but utterly brilliant!

Sometimes perfection just isn't good enough!

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Lovely detailed work as always Paul. Great improvements on the model provided parts.
