Made a lot of progress this week. Managed to find a few pics of the engine and was able to match colours a bit better than those called out in the instructions.
Transmission attached to the hull
Engine and drivers cushion installed
A few washes and filters to add yet. Have rubbed a bit of gunmetal pigment on some of the high wear areas and am in the process of "gunging up" the engine bay.
All the bits ready to assemble
There are some small parts to be added to the drivers station, and after the oils cure overnight I'll close it all up. I'm a bit worried about this stage, there are a number of small panels, and they all have to line up. I've got lots of clamps on standby (made a trip to Bunnings today) and will possibly enlist the help of my son's small fingers!
I'll post some pics once its all closed up.
