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! Movin' along now and I think there could be a finish line in sight..... Engines unmasked, covers fitted and foam nozzles added....  Main superstructure had foam manifolds fitted Port and Starboard.....  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.....   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  AC&?W |
