Looking really good. Are those hydraulic hoses part of the kit or added by you?

Thanks for looking in and your comments everyone  @ Malc the mesh hoses are not included in the kit there by HiQ Parts and they do several colours but I prefere the white ones as there easily painted any colour you wish. There 1.7 mm aprox in diameter and are pretty kink free when you bend the hose. You get 3 lengths in a pack each being around 2/3 ft long. You can get them off flea -bay Link Below:- http://www.ebay.com/itm/...1-7mm-3pcs/301894239105

Hi All More done the air cooling scoops for the front brakes have been fitted along with the brake hoses being taped to the wishbone. Next I started on the steering rack and instrument panel assembly placed the base plate then added the framework along with the steering rack. The instrument panel has had the decals added then glue n glaze used to make the glass. The red box on the base plate is part of the fire control system the decal above it should be on the box but its too big to fit so it was placed above it as you can see. Whilst waiting for paint to dry on other parts I also started to add things to the fuel tank area. More soon.
