I'm so jealous on so many aspects.... I was beaten by a computer at chess recently - but it was no match for me at kick-boxing.

I finally got more done on these today,

I got the fan and grill etchings from Rob, (Maybach) and managed to remember to get some glue to fix,

the grills are made for the USA F3, but with a little extra work will do a grand job on the FA?FB,

the fans and grill are superb etchings as well and are stunning, will fit the fans soon and then paint,

cheers Rob

Thanks Richie,

I need to fill in the edges wiv some styrene rod as the side grills are .5mm narrow, the pics just show them pushed in temp, I got to take the carbodies off again to fit the fans back in, but I dont think the smoke units will work again, sothe fans will not get wired up, I need somepics of the inside of these now as you can see right thro and cant find one of the engine blocks,

Best Regards to all,
Pete

Not a lot been happenning with these lately , I got them working again after the fire , last week I got some decals, but only enuff for three units,

I wanted Cigar band final years so the paint shops economy design is evident,

The plain paint scheme is compared to a full freight scheme on F3,
I still have a lot to do yet windows and handrails by the shed load and finishing the grill trims
