before



drilled it



and finished



it with some mettalic bars





p.s- exausts made will only be fitted after the paint job

upper wings stands





primer applied

Wow, All the way through this I've been thinking "looks a bit messy, but it must turn out great as this guy looks like he knows what he is doing." Now with a coat of primer on it is really looking good. You must be very proud as to how she is coming on. Top work, and all from your own fine hand none of this cheating with injection moulding
