Progress is very slow but kind of satisfying. The air filter was quite well detailed but I felt it could be improved on all the moulded detail was removed, then with some copper wire, pewter, off cuts of
evergreen and PE sprue and some punched details i replaced what I had removed in addition the locating strap
The rear towing pintle was also detailed the moulded pin was removed a hole was drilled in the hook. A new pin was made from copper wire. The pin was flattened one end the other end was drilled to accept the scratched "R" pin this was held in place with a scratched chain. I have lots of PE chain but even when you twist it to give it some depth it doesn't look right.
The seat assembly is under way I replaced the plastic grab rail with copper wire. I still have to add the rivet detail.
Finally you guessed it I broke another lever so I had to scratch one. Had some fun making this as I had to taper it and flatten it plus add a ball on the end. I think it turned out ok.
cheers
