Prepped and then painted the steering wheel and instrument panel. Then added the decals to both. Started making up the side radiator pods these have now been undercoated and will have a coat of grey tomorrow and then more carbon decals. The last pic shows the instrument panel in place. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The brake lines have been fixed to the wishbones with clamps and then the two air ducts were fixed in position completing the front wheel hub/suspension assembly. Next the nose cone was finished off with some etch plates and then fixed in place using two internal pins and four rivets on the top and sides. Next the engine assemble was joined to the monocoque. Work continued on the front two radiator housings. After they were sprayed with carbon grey the decals were added then the radiators were assembled and the stone traps added to the inner ducts. The duct in the picture is only dry fitted at the moment as there is still pipe work to fit and fettle before the turbo ducts are added to the rear of the radiator ducts. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The radiator pods have been fixed in place after the radiators themselves had a pin wash to bring out the detail. Then I started to add the pipework,blue silicon tubes and clips from the engine to radiator [just one side done so far]. The intercooler parts were next the resin parts are only dry fitted to the body at the moment to help align everything up. The metal parts were cleaned up and then Molatowed with Chrome. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Andy, have you had issues with the Molotow? I used it on my MFH Anzani 8/38 build for the tank, and it jut kicked my butt! I've switched to Spastick Chrome, and love it! The Molotow is good for small parts. It might beas simple as a humidity issue. We average 13% or so here in NV.

Thanks for looking in and your comments everyone @Mark You probs already know this but I lay two light coats on the part and then a final very wet coat then the parts must be left for 72 hours minimum to cure and this works fine for me. Molatow and Vallejo liquid metal paints are both alcohol based paints and hate water so its a good chance the humidity is killing it for you.
