Sorry I'm late. Looking good so far. My Wayfarers (much darker than Raybans) were in the Corvette, so had to find spaces in the garage for the crap in the way of opening the door. PaulE
This should be good - seven frets of etch 
I did their 1/48 version and added etch - the engine deck grilles were all separate slats and frames and it drove me mad trying to get it all to line up. At least this will be a bit larger being 35th

Hi Graeme,
It will be interesting to compare the two.
Glad you found them mate you may need them later.
I must admit they do look fiddly, that's why on looking at the kit I thought it would be easier to remove the deck completly to make it easier.This should be good - seven frets of etch

Hi Scottie,
looks like your off to a good start on this rather old and difficult build.
Good call on replacing the deck plate.....should be a lot easier than messing about with the kit offering.
i just had a google on that Griffon PE set....blimey mate that’s a full on set but it certainly looks to cover everything but the kitchen sink!
I have every confidence in you that this will look wicked mate

Thanks Si good to have you along. The etch is designed for the dragon offering so I will need to study the bits carefully.

Work continued on the hull. I removed the thick featureless offerings from the hull, I should have done this before I started work on the drive train and suspension.
These were replaced with etch offerings which look a lot better.
All the linkages and springs were added. The detail is not good but as most will not be visible when finished and will be dirted up.
I had to remove one of the etch brackets as it was slightly out of position and unfortunately it pinged off never to be found so I scratched one out of pieces of styrene and as I said it will get dirted up.
cheers

Cracking Paul, those etch parts look so much better than the kit mouldings.

Hi Scottie
Those etch brackets looks far better. Your replacement for the one stolen by the carpet monster is excellent. It is often difficult to place PE parts correctly. The carpet monster will probably return the pinged off piece now he has had a good chuckle watching you crawl about on the floor and then waste an hour scratching a replacement
