The engine is very nicely detailed and with 20 pieces is a kit in itself.

The floorpan has been fitted to the chassis. I needed a couple of clamps to hold them together but they are now firmly stuck together.

I should have it finished in the next couple of days.

That's a very nicely detailed kit and you're doing a grand job on it.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Thanks Toby. :)

It turned out to be 'close, but no cigar' with this one, as there are still a few bits and pieces to do. Over the last few days the decals were applied. followed by fitting the windows and interior parts.

After fitting the lights and bumpers I did a final mock up to show what the finished item looks like. In doing so, a few parts broke off the engine. :frown:

I should have it finished by the weekend. I'll post the pics in the Civvy vehicles section.
