I'm loving the spark plugs and wires in particular.

Agreed. I love to paint woodgrain

When you have as nice a wood grain painting technique as you do, why bother with decals? Your paint will age much better than any decal, and each models is unique. (no repeated pattern! )

Wood grain looks fantastic. I've never tried this. It looks tricky.

Thanks. I'm starting to believe that.

One last look at the interior before we button it up. Painted the frames of the body with the base color.

Looks sharp!

Wow! Great wood grain detail! 

Excellent kitbashing skills too.

Thanks guys. Found the kit's decal sheet on the internet and printed it to fit and  cut out each image just large enough to stay in each recess by itself. These shapes will then be transferred to the Uschi van Rosten woodgrain decals.

The interior wood graining looks great.

Oops! when I hit the bench I noticed I used the wrong base color. So I touched it up with the correct one.

Coming along....

After all this work what a disappointment to find out the interior wouldn't go full depth into the body shell by about 3/16" (2mm). So I shaved the top perimeter and the cowl area to allow it to nestle. It goes in but wants to come out so out came the gorilla glue and the clamps. It will probably pop out in the cabinet in the middle of the night and wake my wife up who will in turn wake me up "What was that noise? Did you hear that?"

That's a bummer about the issue with the fit of interior but at least it was a fixable problem.

Fixing issues is one of the joys of model building. After all, if they went together too easily, they'd be puzzles.

I recall having a similar problem when I built this kit.

[landman]

Thanks guys, so it isn't me.?

[landman]

And so it is done....Hope you like it. Under glass photos coming shortly.
