Thank you Dan!! Glad you could make it by!!  There are a could "little things" with this one but nothing too too bad. A few EPM's place for you're sanding enjoyment and the glass. There is the odd bit with the antenna array set up on the roof. There is a round section with the two mounts attached...still trying to figure out why they did this. Loke there was a hatch there, but I have not seen a hatch placment in this location. Early on you can see I needed to fill and sand on the roof to compensate. Also there is a need for a small piece of styrene added to backside of the dashboard before installation. When I mocked up the piece there is a sliver of an opening that is seen after the armored glass enclosure goes in. Quick fix though. Still a bunch of FUN!! |

Plugging away here! Almost ready to close this up and get on the outside!! A little chipping and a quick light wash   The gear got a nice wash as well!!  Almost ready!!  Some dusting is on its way, pop the glass in and get this ready for the exterior fun!!! |

Interior looks spot on! Hope you are planning to keep rear door open?

Thanks Andy! The rear door does have the option of leaving open, planning on it with the roof hatch as well. |
