Front mudguard detailed up with a new number plate with brass brackets and missing rivet detail. The Notek had no detail whatso ever so with a few bits of plastic I hopefully made it more presentable.


cheers
Scottie

Keep it going bud.
Richard

[scottie3158]

Richard,
Yes mate it will be good to catch up again. It should be on the club table somewhere.

[scottie3158]

Sorry for not posting recently, thank god I hear you cry. I have been busy but not a lot to show. I have fitted some more of the bodywork Including the brass engine cover and the kit rear cover this also hinges open to show the rear engine detail.

The rear louvres are scratch build from plastic and foil for the louvres themself as the kit ones again were very thick and the vents closed.
Next the towing pintle pin was scratched and a chain added.

The what ever it is was also scratched from plastic sheet as the kit one again was very thick and lacked detail. The trailer plug was made and added as there wasn't one. as was the number shield plate

Next up are the wheels and these are going to take a long time to get right, luckily there aren't a lot. First thing to do is fill the awful eject pin marks in the wheels when the filler is dry they will all get sanded smooth.

The spoked wheels are just as bad.

Thanks for looking as always
Scottie

[Nicko]

Those wheels do look a bit of a nuisance Scotty, but the rest of it is looking lovely...

Nick.

[scottie3158]

Nick, their not good the sprockets also have a lot of missing detail, but hey that's the fun of modelling.

[scottie3158]

They are Nick badly moulded with a heavy ridge along the spokes and ejector marks, but hey ho that's the fun of modelling lol.

[Steven000]

Looking good Scottie, have fun with those wheels ?♂️ cheers

[scottie3158]

cheers Steven I will, I think lol.

[scottie3158]

I have just realised, I really don't know why I didn't think of it earlier that there is no detail on the hull around the swing arms and absolutely no attempt in the kit to represent the track tensioners so this will be the next thing to be done.

[Steven000]

Looks like the kit almost got away with it, but your eye for detail caugth it in time ? looking forward to more detail work, cheers

[scottie3158]

I can't believe I didn't see it before mate.
