Who needs new-fangled go around corners tape anyway? :-D :-D

Fantastic masking and paintwork!
Best wishes

Oh well! It's a DNF in the GB.
Thought I'd post the pics on how far I came along:

I'll finish this before I return to the spitfire, so those who are interested can see the end.
Now! Who can I blame for my tardiness; the dog, the weather, holidays...I'll come up with something.

Later

Even with the kind mercy of another 48hrs allowed in the campaign, I don't believe I can finish. Although, there's not a whole lot to do, it involves considerable masking and paint drying.

So, I offer the final progress photos that will be placed in this thread, and accept my DNF with grace. :cry:

The chassis was completed:

The car body was not completed:

Hence-forth, the completion pics will be placed in my workbench window.

Thanks for looking in and the comments, and thanks for the GB campaign. :)
