Goodevening - heres that 50 with the big logo again - and infront of it is the second set of Extreme Etches - Brian really does spoil us!

A complete new panel is provided for the roof grille, as the panel on the model is not positioned quite correctly, and neither is the big round hole in it!

Also included is a new roof fan , with a lovely detailed hub

the mesh - ive never seen anything like it not only does it have the weave etched into it , but also the 'wiggle' on all the strands - just beautiful - but extremely delicate. As a result this will only be fitted after all work on the bodyshell is done , as the body will be handled quite a lot. Poke the mesh by accident and itll tear

The fan panel on the model is raised from the rest of the roof , and this needs to be filed right away back to roof level in order to fit the new etch.

I have surround the area im working on with masking tape - coverng all the raised detail around it - ie the rain strips , roof vents and other raised panels - that makes iut easier to see where not to go with the file - and if it does slip , the tape should protect these raised details from damage.

ive not had quite enough time to get the panel fitted tonight , but heres a quick shot of one of my sanding sticks for Mark - mentioned in previous posts.

I make them different sizes to suit the job , that ones about 5mm wide - I always cut them from 2mm thick plastic - so they have a bit of bend in them.

Used with water and washing up liquid the wet n dry paper wont clog , and will last for years - the stick shown i think is about 3 years old and had been used to do the cabs on all my 50s
