Hi Bob
That is looking good. It's always a great relief to get the chassis square and the engine in place.

I spent some time over the weekend getting the PE racks for the radio gear together and painted. Very fiddly but they look great when finished. I will get some pics up soon.

Morning all. icon_e_smile.gif

I've been working on the radio gear and racking. This is all now completed and added to the floor plan. It's had a first weathering pass with some dry brushing and a wash (which I still need to go back over as I noticed in the pics I've missed a few spots). I also added some cabling and wiring. I've used artistic licence as I have no idea if this is correct but I think it adds some interest.

Once the dashboard, firewall and rear wall are on I will go back over the floor with some sand and wear effects. Might also add a little chipping to the racking.

On the subject of the dash, I also got that together and painted.

Thats all for now. :smiling3:

I just had a catch up too Bob and she is coming on strong. Love the colors used on the motor and radios. Very realistic like you are almost building the real vehicle. Nice!!!
