    Just seen this one Ian, coming along nicely, even with the fiddly little bits.

      Right then. The last picture in this thread.
      A few touch ups here and there, a few details to paint and then a couple of rear views to put on.
      Thanks for the comments and all that followed.

        Ian,

        Despite your to many 'knock-offs' this has turned out beautifully.

        Very well done.

          Looks great
          ..... You're another one who seems to have mastered realistic looking tyres, between you and Tim, I'm starting to feel rather inadequate!!

              Looking very good, Ian. Is it the lighting, or have you used different colours on the body and the bonnet ? Whatever, I really like it. :thumb2:

                Nice job Ian. Good that you’ve brought out the canvas outers in different colours. Looks a bit more refined than the Airfix job. All in all though, either kit should suit if someone wanted to build their own version.

                  The canvas parts are painted with dark earth metal and woodwork was camouflage brown...aka scc2.

                  Full details in the completed thread ASAP.

                            And there's been me mixing my own from a concoction of old Revell black and Humbrol grey of some sort......

                            You're just cheating!

                            Seriously though Ian great work.
