The pictures are probably the best at telling the story on progress. All that remains is to fit a couple of cooling pipes, the spare wheel, a side skirt, three light lenses and the landing light and then paint the exhaust and that is the chassis finished. Before I get any comments that radiator in the above photo is slightly off level but there is nothing I can do about it at this stage without a major risk of damaging the rest of the model. As it is unlikely to be seen as there will be a cab on top I am leaving well alone! I have learnt the hard way over the tears that trying to achieve perfection can in many cases lead to achieving nothing apart from filling the rubbish bin!
Talking of cabs I did pull out the cab from the box and just temporarily place it on the chassis to get a look at how it will all eventually look.
I think I will at least need to gently sand the bodywork of the cab and give it another coat as it looks as though I was spraying it in a sandpit with the present paint job. However, that aside it does look good - to me anyway!
