More progress, some details added to the taxi, mirror and wipers.
More progress on the truck, rivets on the rear and fuel tanks under construction.

Really excellent work, if Telford doesn’t happen we should have a full viewing.

Hi Dave,
Great stuff, as we have come to expect from the master.
We have been spoilt well and truly by this post.

I hope my next is always better

I have a couple of BOB aircraft if I could be bothered.
Both 1:48, a Defiant and a Spitfire.

Can these figures really be the same scale?
Tamiya British Infantry
Dartmoor Models Mechanic.
