Hi, Sorry for not updating sooner but I'm still struggling with those ***&%@#!! mid seat rifle racks. Every thing else is pretty much ready to go.... don't have the hood ornament on yet as I don't want to knock it off faffing around with the rest of this stuff....a lot of these parts are just in place and not glued down as some of it will have to be painted separately and then assembled......anyway, here is the latest.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1150565[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1150566[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1150567[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1150568[/ATTACH]

Rick. Got to love this scale for the small nightmares but the reward will pay off. I just got tired of struggling in this scale not worth it to me anymore. Your updates look good. Chin up and press on soldier.

Thank You All for the Excellent Comments and the support you have given to this little project....I suspect the next posting will be after I have done a primer coat. As to the bloody rifle racks, I may just leave them off. Rick H.

Come on Rick, Lee said it all. Remember, the captain always goes down with the ship! OK, maybe not every time.............

I wish I could help you with the rifle racks. Even the thinnest wire would be really hard to make them with. Plastic, probably even harder at the size you need them to be....Go with what you feel, racks or not, just have fun Bro!!!

Thanks Allen.........I will continue to "Rack" my brain over this little problem but will get a resolution one way or the other. :thumb2: Rick H.

Oh you'll solve it, I have every confidence in that, and it'll look brilliant (as ever!)

I've used armature wire w/some success as it is stiffer than individual wires from multi-conductor insulated wire. PaulE

I have the wire problem solved, its the clamps and buckles that show if you don't have rifles in the racks. I may have to put rifles on board just to hide obvious. Rick H.

Rick,
Lovely work mate, The rifle racks weren't easy in 1/35 so I will be impressed with what you come up with whatever it is.

Thanks Scottie. :thumb2: Rick H.

I knew you would press on

Before proceeding with the final assembly, I thought I would check my body work to see if it needs further attention......after primer it looks fairly decent, so not much filling and sanding left to do. Rick H.

Rick,
That has turned out really nicely.

As usual late, but lovely work Rick
