This is described as a "Craftsman Plus" kit, it is a curbside-style kit.
It is a new kit remodelled from the original 1963 kit, an has:
Chrome bumpers
Engine plate
Clear headlights
sideview mirrors.
Easy assembly - should suit me!
Decals are supplied so it can be built as a telephone vehicle or a vacuum cleaner and spares one.
The parts look nice and crisp.
Don't worry I can soon make a mess of that!
Should be good, hopefully the bits won't end in the vacuum cleaner....
As Quint was told " your gona need a bigger garage"
Parts, painting and assembling.
Just deciding whether to add seatbelts or not, they seem to have had lap type belts.
I think I have finally achieved something like the paint finish i was after, a combination of paint and patience and keeping the dust off.
The last shot shows the dashboard area.
Another excellent vehicle in progress Dave.

Thanks Chris.
Just about complete, lap style seat belts added to the outer seats at the front..
More glazing added to the side windows, this is not supplied in the kit.
Will you spot the unintentional error, something i forgot to add before closing it all up, well it is too late now.
Is it the missing rear view mirror?
