        Unfortunately this week has been a bit bereft of benchtime,but i have made a little progress:flushed:.....
        I didn`t want to use the kit supplied "Mesh" for the engine grilles,so dug out some old etch bits..... not all the same,but i doubt it`ll be noticed....... unless i get a visit from the the Steyr engine grille Police?!!:rolling:....
        Kit stuff......

        You may of also noticed that i`m STILL using the left over dials from my Protze Dashboard decals,(They`ve served me VERY well for lots of kits now.Not EXACTLY correct,but as you`ll hardly see them at all,they`ll be fine!!

        There tiz,German Grey`d up..... along side the seats,coming on ok.... I`ve also managed to shove the top chassis together,and decided that would be a good point to put on the decals on the pennents/boards.......

          Looking really good Andy……only trouble is that the Steyr police have alerted me to the different meshes you’ve used on the bonnet…….they are on the way and apparently it’s a five year hard labour sentence making individual track links for that infringement :loudly-crying:

              Looking good Andy, and it's a lot less fugly in the flesh.

              Far be it from me as a devout Tamiya fan to disrespect the brand but some of their box art is a little slack in certain areas now and then.

              Generally brilliant but occasionally a bit of rushing or lack of an eye for the subject creeps in maybe ?

                        Hi Andy
                        Mesh looks fine. The Steyr Police will let you off with a warning. Seats look really nice. Coming together nicely.

                          Would that be Panda Plastics links or Model Kasten links?

                          And, more importantly, does it mean that pre-built working tracks will finally become available to purchase?

                            Yes,it`s a fact about somethings being missed from time to time.... but,hey..... it`s so easily done,in general they do a superb job i reckon!
