Forgot to add these pictures of the glazing, tail lights, wipers & tow rope fitted! I can now start final weathering and for this I will be using the wilder aqualine gear again.

Yeah, that nice good under a matt coat Pete

Look forward to seeing the weathering with the Wilder stuff....I’ve been watching him weather a Kv something (?) on you tube with his stuff and it looks easy to work with, at least he makes it look easy
