Almost had a major disaster yesterday evening when I pulled the window blind in my hobby room and it fell away from the clamps holding it at the top of the window, the whole lot collapsed onto my model parts. Luckily no damage to the vehicle bodywork but all the parts I still have to has ended up scattered across the room. Only time will tell if I still have them all or if any are damaged.

Didn't do any work on it today but have some pics from yesterdays marathon build.....................

It was not easy getting that engine to fit into the engine compartment and for everything to line up...................but we made it.
:D

I can't imagine that 'Oh NO!' moment. Hope you dont have a 'grey carpet from hell' like most of us do. Great metallic finishing on the components...jealous.
 
You've got me hanging on every word Andy.............................😂..I'll move on...............
Have started work on the front end...........
The dash panel......

The kit provided little clear plastic lenses for each dial, but I prefer using PVA (pic 1). As you can see with pic 2, the dried PVA has little or no reflection and a clear sight of the dials.

The dash in situ, again little or no reflection on the dials.

Pic 4 shows the initial installation of the oil tank, battery and water bottle (tucked in the corner behind the oil tank). Pic 5 I've added the heater, hydraulic fluid bottles, fire extinguishers, steering arm and radiators. :D

Installed the fuel tank, fuse box and safety bar.

Close-up of the fuse box which has a cover but with detail down to the fuses, its a shame to cover it. :D
 
Thanks for calling in guys....................moving on, played with the seat and harness then the cockpit safety frame.

All the bits needed for the seat and harness, etched detail buckles, fabric belt straps and of course, plastic seat.

Cockpit safety frame which in respect to the rest of the kit, was the roughest of moulding and had to do a lot of scraping and filing to get rid of mould lines and ejector marks.

Frame fitted which basically completes the internal installment of component parts. Next up we start on the external bodywork.
:D
