The driver's instrument panel added inside the hull.
Driver's hatch inner detail.
Link and length track added to the suspension.
I altered the assembly sequence and fitted the fenders to the upper hull and not to the lower hull as per the instructions.
I found this gave a more precise fit for the fenders and easier fitting together of the upper and lower hulls later.
Note: you must trim off the engine firewall overhang as shown in the image above if you wish to use this assembly method.
The pioneer tools and exhaust assembly added to the rear fender, extensive use of etched brass adds finesse to these assemblies but does require care during assembly.
Driver's hatch detail, also note the blackout light added to the left head light, a feature of British Locusts.
Also note the lifting brackets were not fitted to the British version.
