Thanks all!

Just a quick update as I haven't been totally idle...

The inside of the rear wheel wells is now done. After a coat of flat white a little more fettling and sanding was needed but I'm now happy with it. I have no idea how accurate the fuel tank is as I have no photos. but at least the bodywork looks acceptable and fits with what I can see in pics and what I would expect to be there. ie the bodywork extends down to the chassis behind the running boards and mudguards with no change of profile.



I think that's an improvement over this:

I've also completed the first drafts of the brake drums.
Front



and Rear



and the wheel rims plus a jig



That's it for now. I need to run a test print of those to check that everything fits and see what, if anything, needs adjusting. I do think I may have to design a replacement front cross member to fit everything onto, but I'll know for certain once I get the test printed.

I also need to design some friction shocks as there are none in the kit.

So much for OOB!

Beautiful, Ian, this is top-notch modelling. The 3D stuff is just icing on the cake!
