Looking good so far Andy. One thing I see is the center rib line on the tires shows up. If you can I would try to sand them down show that they don't show. Other than that from the photos I can't see any other problems. Keep up on it and you should finish it in time. Good luck.

Keep going. If it gets down to the wire, just go straight to the decal phase and turn in what you have. Better something than nothing - in retrospect, that is a very profound statement (**Note to self: Good job, Jeff ) Anyway, beautiful model isn't it?

Andy looking good. Hope you have not glued the grill in cause it is harder to put the lights in if you have. I agree with Animal on the tyre seam as well.

Thanks Dave,
Now I think about it that white stuff is oven cleaner. I used it to loosen up some glue.
