Thanks BeastieBoy73,  I don't know about that as the chassis was a bind, having to put alloy tube across the width of it as it comes in two halves lengthways  and won't sit straight.

Today's work, I kept the cross bars on the roof rack..................

I put a couple of clear gloss coats on the Tamiya Candy Apple Green..................

On test fitting both the hatch and the nose cone, scratched/chipped the paint and have had to respray, but these are very tight fit and although I've shaved a lot away, still don't fit easily and I may not attempt to hinge them..........................

And fitted the tail lights..........................

Today, the paint has dried I've got the hatch to work now but not the nose light, it just would not stay still!
