I have attached a photo showing 47768 so far, now fitted with most of the details. The plan is to use a different ETH socket as the Vi one isnt great, I have a couple of Bachmann ones at home which I want to have a look at, else there's a bunch of Heljan parts somewhere. Pipework will be added once I've painted the ends (again of course I've forgotten to bring the paints with me.)

The tail light surrounds need painting white (again with the paints....) finally I have some Hurst jumper cables that I plan on using to replace the lower half of the Vi ones to get something closer to scale.

One thing thats bugging me slightly is that the blue flashes on the res logo look to be a bit bigger than the transfers I wanted to use to correct the colour. That said the colour didnt look that different from the fox transfers anyway so I guess it can stay for now.

The final job I can be getting on with while I wait for parts is rebuilding the underframe to remove the bit below the battery boxes. Need to have another search for photos of that type of underframe (the only decent underframe shots I've found so far are the ones with 4 battery boxes.) I think I'm right in saying that there is a metal block in the tanks thats part of the main chassis block (and hence is probably too much to remove with the small tool kit I have here.)
