The roof seam has been repainted and after a few coats of Klear the decals went on last night followed the front suspension and rear wheels.

There are still a few bits and pieces to add but I should have it finished today. :)

Scuttling in just before the deadline I finished the T'rantula this evening. The windscreen was a bit tricky to fit but all the other parts went on with no problem. I'm not too sure about the 'radiator' behind the lights but I thought as it was in the box, why not.

Quite a straightforward build and I'm pleased with the way it's turned out.

It's the kind of kit that could look a bit toyish, but I have to say it actually looks rather cool. The pea green is excellent.

Great finish on a subject type that we don't see a great deal of. That has a fantastic shape to it and a lurid green colour scheme that suits it very well.
