Yes Rallymaster it's a definite improvement with a lot of dust!

From my previous pictures on the Del Aire, I've sliced the thick resin base so that the tyre smoke is now on the ground! A few hours carefully slicing with a new hacksaw blade without a handle.. This then shows up the tyre smoke.. With the body and hood scoop and a bit of filler here and there...

Just a quick wash and rub down, removing moulded extensions to from and rear bumpers, trimming wheels of excess alloy. A few pits and blemishes to fill and generally sanding down. I've never seen one of these ever built, anyone out there?

Thanks Steve, yes I tried to find the parts to make a picnic box, but settled on the wood pile! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

So... the next question, should I add my home-made roof box? With appropriate legs of course!

The kit decals collapsed so using decal stash for number plates and tyres, tyres first..

Thanks stevielewis. My nemesis is window surrounds, so there are the two rear ones that need some tiny work.

Nearly done, a few decals should do it, but need to clean up around window seals, horrible job!

Well we've yet to move house which may take up to 3 months. So packing 5 cabinets of built models is the first mammoth task!

I don't know Bob your at it again! Superb everything! Is it a recent Flintstone bodyshell? It's OK I've seen one on their website, I just need the chrome grill. What I'll have to do is buy another Glitter Bug to get the base! Thanks much Pat ! Yep it's still available from JF . I've contacted JF for a shipping quote, but although I went through their method, onto cart and checkout, but no price came up. I've contacted them again but no answer so far.

Well Rallymaster, as I'm not from the USA, I'm told that Sweet Tarts are biscuits, the Taterchip ones are we we call crisps or chips. Otherwise I'm none the wiser, as the decals came from four different decal sheets!

Our local Waitrose supermarket are stocking Hot Wheels, so I picked up a Mighty 7! I like seeing the modified Hot Wheels, but can't get any custom parts in the UK. The actual circuit is Suzuka.

Hi stevielewis. Yes I put the brightwork on the build, but it's a plumbers tape. Roughly 2 inches wide, and 5 metres on a roll of very sticky tape!
