Nice. That dash is spiffy but my thumbs-up goes to the chair. It's a perfect addition. It's those little touches....like the bolt-overs for the fuel tanks mount holes.

Fanx y'all! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Movin' along now and I think there could be a finish line in sight..... Engines unmasked, covers fitted and foam nozzles added.... ![](http://preview.ibb.co/b36Gdx/DSCN3350.jpg) Main superstructure had foam manifolds fitted Port and Starboard..... ![](http://preview.ibb.co/cB0L5c/DSCN3351.jpg) Knocked up the 3rd of the three access ladders and the remote control unit for the vehicle, this will be positioned on the front mudguard - the cables run to the unit from the control cabin dashboard via the 'cat-flap' on the cabin rear bulkhead..... ![](http://preview.ibb.co/cFspyx/DSCN3352.jpg) ![](http://preview.ibb.co/hZcpyx/DSCN3353.jpg) Cabin got it's upper coat of orange and had the drivers window guards picked out....once dried this will get the bottom half coat of red along with the hull ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://preview.ibb.co/dptUyx/DSCN3354.jpg) AC&?W ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
