Thank you rolling-thunder for you interest.
A little more done today, a small locker on the right hand wheel fender.
Now onto the combined number plate and convoy light on the left wheel fender.

Hi,
Thx chaps,
A few more pics, finished trailer combined number plate and convoy light fitted with green lenses and a green led for illumination, it has to be complete before fitting as i have to spray the trailer fender where this part fits over.

Hi chaps,
Many, many thx for your continued interest and kind comments along the way....much appreciated.
Its that time in the build where some of the smaller more tedious parts have to be made, firstly the rear radio antenna base, turned from a white metal rod i had in stock and drilled for some spring steel rod to be inserted when on display and in use and where it will be mounted when painted and fitted to the model.
Next up will be the two front wheel fender width marker posts which i will make from brass, the drivers side will encorporate a round rear view mirror, also from brass if all goes to plan.
Thx for looking in.
Regards.
Sub.
