Mick.
Looks good, that glass looks very clean and nice in one part.
Nice to see quality control on the instructions is up to standard !

Thanks for looking in Gents. The quality control does continue on with the parts for the wheels and tyres, it's almost as though the people producing the sprues and the ones doing the instrucyions never actually got together at any point :smiling:. A bit more progress made during rest breaks from removing a bathroom, I really dislike 1:1 scale remodelling. This was supposed to be a straight oob construction, then on a bit of old film I noticed that the wheels on the model had been printed solid but on the real ones you could see through to the brake disc and calliper. Well it's only ten holes, shouldn't take too long :tears-of-joy: here's when I'd done two of them before clean up. all now done.

Nice Mick.:thumb2:
No doubt designed by a committee then. Should have had a few more meetings !

I agree John, not something I've ever come across before with Airfix but since coming back to modelling I haven't built many.

Nice update Mick. Nice to see you making a silk purse out of this sows ear

Nice work on the wheels Mick

Slight hold up after some idiot dropped a blob of glue on the engine cover glass, just got to polish it out

This one's putting you through it Mick, but you're getting along splendidly. 1/1 bathroom remodelling doesn't sound like my idea of fun either.

The bathroom is not giving in either, here’s me in casualty yesterday after being attacked by a large chunk of wall tile, all repaired and ready for battle again

Ow! That's what usually happens to me when I attempt any DIY. Hope it wasn't too painful Mick.

Felt like I’d been punched in the face and loads of claret spilled but a nice deep clean cut. No pain at all today

Ouch!
