You're moving right along with this build, while I just installed the radiator and fan.
I have so much to catch-up on, and eventually I'll get there.

Your build is looking great!

Shame you couldn't join in but you can't put a hold on real life.

I understand. Take care, see you on the next one.

Thanks, hopefully on the next I'll be able to join.

I think once it's glossy it will stand out against all the chrome hopefully. PM

So I'm still messing around with the engine, fitted some removal lifting brackets, turbo oil feed and return pipes, a dipstick, some alternator wires, and a few other pipes and hoses, more to add yet before trying to make a reasonable job of painting it all.

Moving on, first coat of gloss to the bodywork and a few more bits added to the chassis. Pantherman

Coming along a treat,like the colour.

Thanks. My usual problem with bodywork is the gloss coat always looks poor. I'm trying something different with this one as a bit of an experiment. I had some Windsor Newton gloss varnish which I am brushing on, it's a bit thick but if I thin it down a little it just doesn't really set and peels away if you handle it. The thick coat sets in 24+ hours and then final coat. The colour looks a bit hmmmmm..... but with the gold set of decals I'm hoping it matches nicely. Pantherman

My gloss was always a bit hit and miss when I was using vallejo, I use mr colour laquer or mrhobby aqueous now and get much better results, the gold sounds like a good combination
