Steve - great minds think alike. British Racing Green it is. Got to find a suitable paint - suggestions welcome.
Richard - your MG was instrumental in me having a go at this. Hope it turns out half as well.
John - welcome John. I have also broken a couple of the magnets in the same way. They are actually too strong.
Assembled the brake drums and fixed them to the axles. Wheels are turned roughly as I want them but all still moveable at the moment.
Tackled the fit between the upper and lower body parts. Dry fit, shave a bit off, dry fit, shave a bit more etc. Took over an hour to get to this stage.
Lots of mould lines on the upper body. I had to check references to be certain they were not supposed to be there. I thought the ones on the back were the boot but no - just mould lines
All sanded off.
Still too hot to paint but the multi coloured look is really beginning to get on my nerves.
Jim
