Looking good Wayne likethe gun barrells
 
I should ask before its done, do you have any pics of the brake line on the wheels? I've been trying to find some to spruce up my Zero but I can't find any Zero Wheel pics with the brake line.

That should not be a problem Igor, will dig out some pics for you.

Meanwhile have prepared the drop tank, there was a small plastic outlet pipe on the bottom rear of the drop tank that i replaced with a short piece of brass tube appropriately shaped.

also need to do some work on blending the intake below the cowl.....didn't exacly go together nice and neat....

Looking good Wayne. Were the gun barrels an aftermarket addition?

Thanks Guys, missed this bit the other day, one of the cowl latches was in the wrong place so I removed it, made a little template and rescribed it....

Neat template and scribing Wayne and I love that tank vent pipe. If I tried something like that with metal pipe, I'm sure I'd end up with a kink in the bend. Any secrets in that scale.
 
Love the detail :D The template itself looks like it came from a Zero :D
