Just a few last pics of the day. Tried to use the pledge version of Klear again but it did not work for me but as all the windows are now attached I don't have the time to fix the issue. Still I am pretty happy with the way it's looking!





Just got to add the spare tire I removed last week, attach the roof properly, give it a coat of matt then do the dot filter. Oh and attatch the wing mirrors!. Bit of work for tomorrow. And add the flowers to the flower bed after I trim them a bit. Might do that bit later.

Paul


P.s Just remembered I need to add one of the side antennas as it popped off when I tried to slide the roof back on.

Thanks Roy I was not sure how it was going to end up looking and even if it looked terrible it's a last ditch effort. Campaign ends tommorrow!! Ran out of Natogreen yesterday!

A heavy box re-opened the cage which took me more attempts to glue in the fisrt place than I care to remember.



I know what you mean: that cage is difficult to get fixed right without a seam down the middle on top. Took me ages first time and then frequently broke it as I went along. If I do another of these it'll be the last bit fitted. But you recovered well...

These HB kits are nice to go together overall IMO.

You not wrong there, I really have been trying to figure an easy way to do it for the next one LOL.

They really needed to cast both ends with L shaped tips would have made it a lot easier. Still it looks good once it's done.

Well today seems to have been more than a little productive. A few problems early in the day mainly with the tiny little side lights and indicators. Lost 2 found 1 had to find a suitablle replacement but looks ok. Only 1 little thing left to do before I call it done but these will be the last pics



















Well thats all for now off to get the roof stuck firmly down.

Paul
