Detailing the engine, so far.

My plug leads look oversize, so this will be rectified on the next model.
Plug leads are 8-8.5mm in diameter, according to my research, other source say wire of between 0.12 and 0.14 in diameter is about right (so about 0.3mm should do it), Also there is the correct firing order for the cylinders, in the case of the Mustang it is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.

Excellent model Dave. You are certainly cranking them out.

On this model, I took the kit distributor and drilled holes for the plug leads - 8 and one for the lead from the coil.
The 5p is to give some idea of the size.
A piece of the insulation acts as the connector to the distributor.

Plug leads connected up and the engine in the chassis.
This is a Shelby Mustang GT350 H, the H is for Hertz, as in rental, they ordered 1000 of these for Saturday would be racers to hire. A great success apparently.

I am reasonably happy with this gloss finish, will I ruin it adding the decals?
Wait and see, busy at hospitals with Sandra today, so maybe later.

This is the best superglue ever, industrial strength, from DIXONS in Filey.

Almost there, once again after the application of decals, the finish leaves a lot to be desired.
Some under bonnet detail still to add.

Extra detail added, battery cables, fuel lines and so on.

Looks like the start of a new dealership in Bempton.
They look great portrayed all together.
I hope my next is always better
