Some extra detail would be nice!

 I have to admit to enjoying the build of the Airfix Stolly. I have said it before but will say it again, it does remind me of the early Tamiya kits, simple but detailed. Unfortunately there are always the odd parts where that extra detail would have been nice. On this kit, these are the mouldings for the headlight protectors. In real life a frame with slats that should deflect any large rocks or such like that could damage the headlight. In model form, Airfix have moulded the part as a solid so that the headlight that will be behind it will be invisible. Not exactly a good moulding.

However, with some dexterous cutting and some plastic strip something a bit better can be created. First job is to cut the innards out of the frame.

Then add some plastic strip. Now I have just got to wait for the glue to dry to trim the strips to length but that should at least look a bit more realistic then the original part once mounted on the vehicle.
