Love the details, chains, ratchet strap, rope, oil stains, I can almost smell it.

Quite simply stunning.....I shall now crawl into a corner and yet again consider the futility of my modelling existence.... And quite possibly life itself......

Update.
As said on Friday, here is a pic of some of the tie downs.

And the engine mesh...

Then the roof hatch had some detailing added, seen here just before priming...

And finally the re-worked exhaust pipe with new heat shielding and top half is a new pipe...

This is rough and ready as the originals did show some wear and tear.
And that is it for now.
Mike.
