Not a great deal done on this one, seems I've been busy with other stuff, mainly work, but I got the front grille fitted and a black wash added to bring out the detail, fitted the pre wired distributor and had a little time this afternoon to start getting it wired, in the correct firing order, of course ....

Last update until I get back in 3 weeks, although I'll have a lot of photo's to edit before I can even think of picking up a model.

The front windshield rubber seal was airbrushed using VHT matt black, it's the best black paint I've found to replicate black rubber, it was fitted into the body using clear acrylic craft glue, and held in place with making tape while the glue set up, the rear window seals were picked out by brush using acrylic matt black,and the window was fitted using the same glue as the front, and again held in place with masking tape while the glue set up, the engine was wired up using a pre wired distributor and wired up in the correct sequence.

As I don't sleep that well when I've got a long haul flight coming up, I was awake at silly 'O' clock this morning, so with nothing else to do, I thought I would crack on with this one, Sadly there's only a few items to fix on now, but that will have to wait until I get back from Brazil in 3 weeks, as I haven't slept too well for the last week, I really need to go and get some rest, can't wait to get this one finished, it's been a great kit to build with no fit problems at all.

Got the interior fitted, and then the body was fixed onto the chassis, again, everything just lined up perfectly.
