After some illness and very cold weather I am temporarily on the kitchen table as the garage is just too cold at the moment.  I now have after a fair bit of fettling got this together.  There will be more work of trimming and filling before I am happy with it. Once this gets done then I am up to the last finishing pieces including all the fiddly bits like lights. On the whole this has been fairly typical for a 1.72 soft skin kit.

Moving along with this yesterday I now have the underside done along with some light weathering via some dark earth dust from Flory Models. I will probably paint the petrol drums in the dark yellow from xtracrylics soon as well as some oil stains around the engine area. As you can see the steering wheel and front seat have fallen off again but as shown in the photo below i now have the walls on the cabin and am up to stage 11 of 13 so the end is in sight.

No major problems so far , just following the instructions. Minor problem is the back windows which seem too big and need the gap enlarging.
