Only shame was that with the way this model was going to be presented,
none of that lovely stuff under the cowlinngs was going to be seen.
If i skipped all that lot i coulda had this done in a week, 10 days tops. But glutton for punishment i am,
i did it all.
One thing that certainly needed tackling was the tyres.
They just looked so..well...clean.

Enter the lump of balsa dowel, one 6 inch screw, some masking tape and a cordless drill.
Making the dowel thicker by winding the masking tape on them one at a time
slotting the tyres on so they fitted snugly, spinning them and just applying 800 grit wet and dry paper with plenty of water.
The finished article had the used effect i was going for so onto the next bit.
