I dunno know if I've put this up before or not and as it's 1.25am :P on Saturday morning I'm not going through the W.I.P. section to find ot so here it is again but only a bit more of what I have done to this car.

The motor has been built but also it's been removed for further detailing, including new extractors.

The old extractors make of solder, new ones will be made of solder but only better.

Centre console has start switch (round red button) alnog side is a rocket launcher switch to act as an ignition switch ( this switch was filed out of a piece of kit sprue). The funny part of this switch bit was when I finished it I dropped it onto the floor luckily for me the floor is not carpet so it was easy to find using a luxeum LED torch man R those thing bright U should all buy one helps finds small parts.

Dingo :o
