The Morgan 4/4 I am modelling is fitted with the Ford Kent crossflow engine, which wasn't introduced until 1968, the dash is modeled from the photo below, having an all wood panel.

I did a little more detailing on it today, I have searched Google, but cannot find a dashboard on a Morgan like the one molded in the kit, but there are 3 warning lights/switches on the dash that needed picking out, so I just popped a dash of silver on them, and got the dash fixed to the bodyshell.

Decals arrived this morning, (Thanks Shay !!) measued them and although there a gnat's knacker to small, they did the job, I painted behind the decals with flat black, put the decals on, and popped on a few drops of clear resin to replicate the dial glass.

I think the flash on the camera might have made it look like that, but to the naked eye it looks a lot better

I have this one in stash to build one day, and yes it does have the Ford Cosworth 1500 c.c engine,

The gearstick, handbrake and pedals were fitted into the tub using 5 minute epoxy glue, the interior tub fixed to the chassis by tabs at the front of the tub and cut out by the rear axle, a few spring clamps were used to get the two parts to fit tightly together, the rear dampers were fitted after the parts had dried, a fiddly job, but easier than trying to do at the same time as fitting the interior tub to the chassis

I picked up another tip on here, and thought I would give it a go, Tamiya XF-59, dry brushed with bronze then given a coat of clear orange, I hadn't got any copper so I used dark copper, but now it's done, I have a bit of a problem, I have no decals for the dials, anyone on here have any suitable, or know anywhere than does decals for dials ??

I've got the very same Airbrush, as well as a few other, your going to love it, but modelling wise, I got Revell's latest big red bus, and the box is full of plastic ... Thanks Mom !!

I wish I had room for a spraybooth as big as that !!

It can, see the photo of mine, this was taken when it was new and un-used, the pipe can be simply popped out the window, and because of the design, the window only needs to be open around half and inch

I do take photo's of my builds, then post them on my website, with a comment on each photo, what I did, how I did it, etc

Looking good, nice clean cut ....

The Krupp Titan is a re-release, I have the original version, not sure if it's because I've been building 1:35th scale for military modelling magazine or not, but I only bought mine a few weeks ago, (another eBay find) and it seems huge !!!, it has a lovely 6 cylinder 2 stroke engine.

Yes, they run on 240v, they have a moulded in plug fitted, and no, it won't explode when using Halfords paints, they are acrylic lacquer, I've used the older more volatile cellulose paints, and still over the 12 months I've owned it, had no problems at all, even when I'm cleaning out the airbrush using thinners, I spray it into the booth, and still no BOOM !!!

I love these little teardrop trailers, great work building it from scratch, I think it would have too me longer than 8 hours just to figure out how I was going to do it, well done !!

No, the only time I get a smell up in my hobby room is if I leave my airbrush in lacquer thinners before I clean it out, but when spraying, no, I get no smells, even when using Lacquer paints, I've used mine for the last 12 months, and have only just bought a new filter for it, which cost me £6.00, so it's a pretty cheap unit, and does the job ....I wouldn't be without it.

Yes it goes out of the window, but because the width of the adapter, you only have a gap of around 1/2 inch, do a search for Expo tools spray booth, or have a look on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPRAY-BOOTH-EXTRACTOR-FAN-AIRBRUSHING-E420-NEW-/300561475151?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item45fadc264f#ht_3302wt_1185

I bought the very same unit around 12 months ago, and I wouldn't be without it, before I had to do my spraying in the garage, and that gets pretty cold out there in the winter, and almost impossible to keep it warm with heaters, I use acrylics, enamels and automotive lacquer, and I've had no problem, I'd say go for it, I've lined mine with greaseproof paper, easy to change when it gets dirty, but keeps the plastic from getting grotty.

Bought mine today, should have it in a few days, and it seems they have changed the box art, since the photo's were put into the catalogue.

I shall give that a go in the future, Thanks !!

It's a thick liquid, Usually use a cutting polish, but there was no need for it on this build

Beautiful work !! looks like BMC Almond green you used on the body, I've never seen this kit built up as a standard van, and I'm pleased to see the flying A on the bonnet, as this actually the handle for the bonnet latch ....

It's Hycote automotive lacquer, decanted from the aerosol and sprayed on with my Paasche H airbrush
