Will do !! I have some tools and paints to order, and when i get all this I will take lots of photos. The only thing thats frustrating is that the model is not the UK DC2 model as that has twin round headlights and different wheels (I have a Championship White 1998 UK DC2 on my drive !!)

ohhh....you must be happy to own that car. my congrats!
I have just started a "gluebomb" (but not touched too much, no paint) from Revell with the four round headlights. it is in scale 1/25 - KitNr. 85-2572. that is hard to find and i was lucky to get a bundle of two started kits.

I must learn to do the headlights better. I really struggle with painting the bodywork silver behind the lights, and then sticking the clear plastic light on that has been painted with X26/X27. I need to try a glue that doesnt make the paint run.

At the headlights, next time use BMF, or something chrome. Not silver, chrome. It will be so much better! The seats look OK, but the their backs are missing. You should use also chrome for the brake disks- they are much more shiny, just look at the real cars. BUT!!! The paintwork is very good, I love your building! And for the rear light use Humbrol Clearfix, or Microscale Micro Kristal Klear- these are made for glue transparent parts.

Dave, for glueing clear parts to chrome, use the white woodworkers glue. It dries clear, hides any slight issues? I found Evostick external woodworking glue, to be the best, but they both work. UK coming at you too.

Thanks for the tips guys. I will have a try with some chrome for the lights on the next build. And i have ordered some Clearfix !!! The bodywork came out better than I have done in a while, I used Tamiya extra fine primer rattle can and Tamiya TS26 rattle can.
