Well it's time for another cruel close up and this time it does look messy, the head code boxes have been opened up and re filled the windows have been closed up, time for the wet and dry again and this time no grey primer as the witness coat is no longer needed.

Just wetting and Drying now and then the drivers windows. I am not going to bother repainting it after this and I am going to remove the beading round the glass on the head code panel.

Bugger:headbang:just noticed the picture is taken on the skew again so the bottom corner looks deformed

Just wondering are you going to fit the taillight or do it as an add on?

Started the side detail today filled in the hole, and cut out a new window. The blue line is the top of the window still to be taken out. The tail light now there's a question. I don't want to add to much because the mould is fairly complex at the moment so I think it's going to be an add on later. Looking at the size of the window opening it looks a little deep. Do you think so?

The line of the back of the cab is roughly where the cab door will be so I will step the master to be able to glue the brass inlay into it.

I quite agree the front window bottom seems to line up with the bottom of the drop light of the drivers cab. I think when I get back I will fill the bottom and open out the top to lift it up. The grab rail seems to be the deciding factor

Well blow me down we agree (can't be seen to be doing that too often as the natives will start talking). The reason it's so low is that is the original window line if the toilet on the Big Big and I just followed it how wrong can I be( dont answer that)
