Graeme, here are a couple of in progress pics I took when making the springs for the other side
As well as winding and adding the springs to the other side I have been adding all kinds of small and tricky little bits and pieces
these tiny etch brackets each got a microscopic plastic bump stop (I think) added to the top, after numerous attempts punctuated by periods of scouring the floor for them
here they are installed on the sides of the suspension turrets - no location points provided and just a vague sketch in the instructions so had to guesstimate a position and then make them all match
jack added to front right wing
angled lifting eyes added to each wing
tiny hinges added to the hull side windows
rail added to rear deck for the open roof to sit on
exhaust pipe added
mudflats added to front wings
hinges added for side door and then side door hung in place
etch locks added to side bins
end of exhaust drilled out
headlights in place - unfortunately the right side had drooped unseen
tried to correct it but of course it sheared off so this will now need drilling and pinning
rear lights add to rear wings
side window hinges on other side
another shot of the roof rest
there are still lots of small fiddly bits to fit - the GB finishes next Sunday - this will not be finished on time
