Ok chaps here`s my entry for the GB.....
I`ve gotta nip out for a few hours today so i spent the morning sanding down some seam lines which run the whole length of the roof and parts of the wings.............i know it`s a Tam kit but it`s 30 years old and it does show in a couple of places, the lines were easy enough to remove with a light sanding followed up with some micro fibre cloths to smooth it all out.
The kit is very basic so it won`t take long to put together...........also basic is just right for what i have in mind for the `Dubster`

Chassis and engine in probably the worst colour plastic to work with under my `half` a lamp!!!, the shine off the plastic makes it hard to locate small location holes some of which are tucked away..........when ya hand gets in the way of the light ya get plunged into darkness Anyhoo..........it`s done, axles are in front and rear and the engine is mated with the floor pan...
Sorry about pics.........the Black makes it hard to photo as well, once i get some primer on the detail will show better
And a quick test fit of the body on the chassis...............looks like a feckin` magpie!!
More soon.........might even get some primer on if it ever stops raining!!

Looks a bit better with some primer on the bodywork/bonnet and boot Paul.............just adding some detail to the `injun` bay before priming the lower half.
