          Hi Rick, he has a lot to answer for lol.

            A liitle bit more day by day. I didn't like the back seat, the kit part was the usual straight flat piece, so looking at my reference pics I made a new one from evergreen. I also added from some lead wire what I believe are the bilge pump outlets. Finally I repositioned the etch upright so now it sits nice and straight.

            As I said to Bob, in my previous reply I mullered some of the etch, so I removed it and replaced it with evergreen. It looks a bit of a mess at the moment but needs cleaning up and also the bolt details. This I will do when fully dry.

                Paul.
                Very nice indeed, attention to detail as usual. Love that lead pipe work,

                  Thanks John, This is what I like about modelling. My builds will never be historically accurate but they work for me.

                            Some terrific detailing Paul. You really are paying attention to your reference photos. Great to see you transferring the detailing to the kit ao accurately. Lovely work all round my friend

                                Si thanks, but I do struggle with it sometimes and wonder why I don't just build out of the box lol.
