    Yes I can it just needs a bit of cleaning up that's all. It's so small I can bearly see it until it's too late. Just a factor of using Resin.

    Despite my negative comment re the chassis for a display model.... I quite like the end result. :thumbs:

    May I suggest the black rubber trim around the front windows may just complete it?

    (And number plates) :tophat:

    It looks as though their maybe some air being trapped in the casts at times. I'm not sure how you could alleviate that. There must be a way. I think this van will be a big seller if you can just sharpen it up a little. Once I reached that stage, I'd get up a picture of the version destined for the retail market.

    A fantastic subject to get out there.

    I'm not very good at lining so might leave that...

    No the air get's blown out it's just the nature of the material.

    Today I decided to sort out the basic interior that comes with the Crew Van. The seats I supply are too long I've discovered and would need trimming. But here I've used 2+1 seating from the Terrier Cab.

    The kit includes wire bent to form a seat frame but here I've used brass strip. This will feature in Kits from now on. I've primed and placed them in rough position, and will level up, pain and glue tomorrow.

    Bit more leveling required and paint job tatty but as most of this won't be seen I'm not worried. I used an old tin of Humbrol Red as old as I am but the effect of worn cloth isn't that bad actually.
