      Paul I'm sure you will produce a perfect model.
      Your usual seat with power riser is available, kettles on. I doubt it will be perfect but many thanks for the vote of confidence.

      No worries mate. I think we are all a bit detached upstairs with this hobby.

                Tweaking has started. Storage locker lids made from plastic card with clamps and hinges from the spares box and the etch set. The bulkhead was replaced as the kit one is far to thick.

                      John,
                      No mate they are from a generic hinge set from Eduard. It's a good set lots of different sizes and styles.

                            The etch clamps and hinges look great. Definitely worth the effort.

                                The front seats were not up to much so I have cobbled together some replacements. The kit also had no pedals so with a bit of copper wire and some etch upgrades added some of these as well.

                                I have a cunning plan for the canvas cover on this build if I can pull it off so a lot of this won't be seen.

                                cheers Scottie
