Well having looked at my headlining again I've taken it all out. I have made a frame from lithoplate formed into an 'L' shape then fettled it to fit so that it covers any gaps between roof and lining. I have also modified the sunvisors by cutting off the blade from the original and replacing it with green polycarb, then using Ultra bright chrome Bare metal, Im very pleased with the result and now waiting for the main roof section which is due early January. Thanks for the kind comments, it really does make a difference. bigmal0 attached the following image(s):

A further move forward. The inner roof section has been prepped with Humbrol dessert sand which nearly matches the lining and the metal frame is finished. I have also fitted interior lights which I will wire down to the boot. bigmal0 attached the following image(s):

Nice job. My brother is building the same model as is pretty much at the same stage, although his seems to have more bostik and masking tape than yours!!

Hi Tony, Superb modelling mate and love the effect you have achieved with the use of the green polycarb, goes very nice with the bodycolour and chromework - excellent stuff and looking very good indeed. Keep up the good work and thanks for posting the update, much appreciated !! Kev
