Progress has been made. Not a lot, mind you, but some. Details have been added to the top and bottom hull pieces:

The biggest thing to report at this point is that I got the tracks together using the same method as for indy link track, with the only difference being that the link and length pieces are put together in the correct order. They ended up a little wonky, but, they are together and ready to be added back once the hull is painted:

I have started on the painting and will try and get some pictures up before too long.

With you there Philipp, that was my main thought today, why, oh why, did you choose a kit with an interior? :? :roll: :? :roll:

Veeeery nice Matt! :mrgreen:

As so often in this thread the painting is great and more than compensates for the lacklustre detailing of these old kits! :lol:
- Love the details you managed to paint the dials with! :o


Best regards
