I'd display those as separate models in their own right!

Paul,
In my effort to finally catch up as I spent so much time away from the site, I finally have been able to read through your entire build to date. Simply outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail that these super 1/12 scale kits require.

Paul,
BTW, have you figured out a way to fix the gap between the front spoiler and the body as yet? It occurred to me that if the body isn't crooked, can you graft on a piece of styrene and carefully sand it to shape to fill in that gap?

It occurred to me that if the body isn't crooked, can you graft on a piece of styrene and carefully sand it to shape to fill in that gap? joel Sorry for the late reply, Joel. From what I can tell, there is no way to close that gap without re-engineering the front end. I considered just what you suggested. Adding to the bottom of the front end with styrene and closing the gap that way. But I decided instead to just leave it the way it is. Whenever I go somewhere to display it, the front clip will be off to show the detail. So no one will know about the gap. And as you can tell by the pictures I have already taken, it's not that noticeable. Since the 333 is done, it's time to get back to this build while the mojo is still working. I finished up the dash and added it and the front suspension to the chassis in preparation of adding the upper bodywork.     1345 |

Paul,
Makes perfect sense since it will be displayed with the nose section off.
I'm looking at your dash and I'm just amazed at the detail especially in the back. This just took me back to my 1967 MGB days when I raced it, and spent way to much time trying to get the Smith gauges to actually work correctly. The tach was removed a few times and sent out for recalibration as it could be so far off it's just hard to believe. Your gauge back, wires, and brackets looks so much like what I remember. Well done my friend, very well done.

Paul, great to see the work but do you have any updates since June?
What brand paint is the orange?
Where do you source the wires for your dash?
