Thanks for all the comments.
Once the basics of the grill is "square" it's relatively straightforward to add the remaining uprights.

The assembly is quite rigid and easy to handle. It fits neatly into the nosecone.

I have been told by my supplier that my own 1:12 MFH kit of one of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars will be delivered tomorrow .... can't wait!!
Kev.
Thanks for the support Kev. Now I'm wondering what your kit is going to be.....is the Gurney-Weslake Eagle or the Ferrari Shark nose perhaps..?

That grille is just stunning. This is really going to be a superb model when it's finished.

Malc. Certainly two of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars ever, so it could well be one of those two .... but which one!? 
Kev. Hi Kev. I'd go with the Weslake Eagle as the best looking...... Which ever it is I'm sure you'll make a fantastic job of it.
Malc.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
The instruments are quite sparse on these older cars. Rev's, and a couple of oil pressure / temperature gauges.
I polished the die cast rims and sprayed matt black. There is a pointer on the Rev' counter which sits on a rivet. Clear covers complete the units.

There is no detail in the kit for the rear of the dashboard so I've added my own instrument clamps, wiring and piping. I may display the finished model with some bodywork removed so a little detail here is important.RM1 attached the following image(s):

Lovely work as always Malc, some nice added detail to the back of the dashboard/firewall, which can only be an added plus to such a wonderful base model!
Looking great and edging ever closer to that finish line now Malc, keep up the good work, I'll be following all the way!
