Looks superb and just the motivation I need to get busy with mine again.

Like my lacquer skills :lol: That really got me depressed. Anyway, I gave it a sesh with the Nitromors last week and I'm now pondering colour choice again. The diamond black I used came out OK before my cock up, but I may go for white this time around, although I did see some chrome paint at the cash and carry last week...

We should have a mini stand at a show!

Have you trimmed the little spacer off the back of the wheels to get the rims under the body? The replacement tyres look great on there.

Where's your mirror glass too? That's an MOT fail :lol:

Just been reading up on resin casting. I reckon taking a mould of the LHD dash, re-casting it, modding that and re-casting again could result in a RHD dash for all us UK 1/24 owners!

resin csting can be a pain in the tits, done it a few times at uni

you would need to cut out th ebinnacle area and and a section from the oposit side of the dash and switch them over and smooth out to get a mould which you would then not really need as you have modded the original anyway!
