Hi Harry.

Exquisite as always and you seem to have borrowed my wife again!

The wheels look fabulous.

I am hoping to put your research into buildings soon. At present, I am disappearing under caterpillars .

Best wishes,

Chris

I added the rails for the sliding roof to the roof. Revell simply created an opening there.





The dashboard, literally a board, has already been painted. I'm using Vallejo Model, Model Air, and Greenstuff World Chrome.



And I experimented a bit with paint to imitate faded paint. It looks pretty good in my opinion, but it's not quite the final result

As the engravings on the mouldings are very ‘’flat‘’, making direct cutting almost impossible, I glued individual strips. I used self-adhesive aluminium tape from the plumbing supplies. The advantage of this is that you can easily imitate creased or dented areas. And no, they can't rust, they are also made of aluminium on the original.
