Finally back making some progress and with that, the dash arrived from Stuttgart. I believe that's where the ball bearing plant usually got bombed in Hogan's Heros, but that may be Heidelberg.
This was molded off a real 507 dash so it's true to form and scale. The gauge pod needs to be fabricated (what doesn't?
) and for ease, I created a mock up of that part so I could fasten the dash together.
I removed the windshield frame and continued filling the body. Next step is to sand smooth then lay one 6oz fiberglass mat on top to hold it all together. After that, I'll use more filler to get the final body shape. Right now, I need to sure up the structure so it doesn't shift or crack when moving, and the mat will do that. But I need to cover the foam with filler since the resin will melt the foam. It's melting the foam a little since I'm not using epoxy resin. For this, the cheaper is better.
More to come...
Cheers
