 Hi All The rear brake lights were made up and then fitted along with the front and rear racing fenders. The seat belts were made up and fitted to the seats then the seats were fixed in position. The exhausts were primed and painted white then clear coated, the support arms added and then glued in place. The windscreen frame was prepared with some etch and painted then the screen fitted in place and glued in position. Next the wipers were made up from six parts each, 4 cast parts consisting of the base and wiper blade holder, six etch parts for the wiper arm and lastly real rubber wiper blades. The build is now done but I have a couple of things to add yet before posting in the finished build diary. Andy  arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Very nice indeed. White exhausts look really good as white can be a complete pain to get right. Happy Modelling

Hi All Thanks for looking in and your comments, I must say I have enjoyed building this kit not without its challenges but overall a great kit and one to recomend to anyone who wants to take one on with lots of different choices of cars to make. On a side note I have sent some sample pictures of the build to MFH hoping the build may be worthy to be featured on the MFH website and received this reply by email this morning:- Model Factory Hiro <cus@modelfactoryhiro.com>
