Not much of an update due to a few time constraints but i`ve now completed the last piece of the jigsaw by finishing the tracks.......as mentioned they are pretty straight forward but just let down by how many you can piece together in the small jigs provided which made it a bit of a slow boring process...
I`ll get some primer on these shortly and weathered up ready for fitting at a later stage, the rear idler is left till last to allow for track adjustment but until i get some colour on the bottom half there`s no point attaching everything just yet

Yay the tracks are done Even I use more metal tracks than any others, I still find this step the most tedious and dragged out, even painting them is a chore

Nice work on those tracks,Bud. They look smashing. Is there an average time for the Customs thing?

Well i managed to get a black base coat down.........
Unfortunately this is about as far as i can go with it for the moment............my compressor has developed an air leak in the main valve and is not shutting off during use causing it to get red hot, this means a bloody replacement!!!!...............just what i need now the car has got to have a shed load spent on it, you couldn`t make it up could you!!!.................i think it has come out in sympathy with the car!!
Until i can get this sorted i`m not able to do any more AB work so i might have to dip back to the `Dub` for a while

Isn't it amazing how one thing leads to another. Hang in,mucka. Stealth mode primer looks great.
