More updates
Step 9 began work on the chassis so I decided to cut the sides off with a fine saw to assist in painting and detailing the part
I've already posted pictures of the chassis underway so it was time to start painting the body parts. Unfortunately I realised after painting and decaling the part that I had missed the smaller radiator opening on the version I'm building, (late 1978). I considered just moving on, who would notice? but I couldn't!
Out came my second kit and the modifications started again.
Here are my machined front shocks from Step 12. I also started Step 13, which includes the steering wheel. This was painted with Citadel colour black spray which looks a lot like leather. The logo is MFH (Model Factory Hiro) and I also added a Scale Race Cars toggle switch. I've added a comparison picture with my FW 24 wheel to show the massive difference a few decades can make!
Almost finished
