so now we try a first coat of paint ..also the new tranny cover built from plastic card and pill boxes this is only a prototype but wiil stay for the time being, as i had to use lead sheet to get the shape of the front also used it to get the shape of the flanges of the three cast hull ,, the nuts and bolts cut from plastic rod some heated also a square one for the nuts and thin one for the thread wow it ,s not easy ...........
