Here are todays progress photos. At the front, grills, bonnet pins, more decals and locating pins for the night stage turning lights have been added. Had a big scare with the headlights. Trying to install them Tamiya's way I cracked the paint off the edge of the right hand side headlight opening. Will have to repair this as best I can and try a different way of installing the light lenses. Probably just sit them in place and glue with 'Future' type floor wax.
After the drama at the front I took it very careful at the rear and rather than force fit chose to enlarge the holes for the tail light clusters. I think the fit must have been very tight in bare plastic, but after several coats of primer, base white, body colour and clear there is no clearance left! Something to be careful of if anybody plans to build this kit in the future.
Lastly a progress shot of the interior, still lots to do, like seat harness and spare wheel tie down.
