Superb work Ron, this looks fun

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Coming along nicely Ron.

Thanks boys.

Good, relaxing fun.


Onwards we go.....

The body work.
The laser cuts go nearly right through the plywood, thus making a bend easy.





The piece in place making a petrol tank.


The same applies to the one piece bonnet. A wrap around, push in, perfect fit, Terrific stuff!
I can't emphasize just how good the parts fit is. All first time. Amazing design and production standards.






'Bout time me made and fitted me some go around and around things.

Then I can go neeeeeeeeow!

Cheers.
Ron

Go for it, Dave.
Yes, indeed, good fun.

A different way to while away some modelling time.....

OK! You talked me into it. Summat totally different for me, but just like I learnt from you, I'm gonna leave everybody in suspenders!

Thanks for the positive posts, boys.

Nice one Dave. Finally taking notice of one of the great 'Unwashed'!????

I look forward to seeing just what you will reveal - Sooner or later......

Can't go neeeeeeeeow without 'em can you? That'd be like an airplane whoosh without the wings!

[spanner570]

Nice one Dave. I thought it was just me wot made silly model making noises!

Update.

Wheel drums and exhaust manifold.....





A peep at the undersides showing the completed exhaust system.


Deffo. wheels next.

This is looking the nuts mate.

[Jim R]

More and more impressed.

[spanner570]

Thanks chaps!

I'm impressed too = Not so much from a modeller's point of view. It's the quality of the kit that is really impressive.

Wheels.....

The three studs are pushed in and then the 'discs' are added.



Be warned, pushing in the bits plays havoc with the finger nails!






Plus a number plate.





And a starting handle!



...and that, my fine fellows is more or less it.

I'll post up the finished model and my observations in the relevant completed section asap.

Thanks for your most excellent and encouraging comments along the way.

Ron

Naahh! It's just that me an' thee are the only two eejits prepared to admit it!

[flyjoe180]

Great job Ron, loving the whole wooden theme here

[scottie3158]

That's a great result, I'm tempted to build one of their kits.
