Hi all...

the chassis has now been sanded down on either side to fit the scale width. I was worried that this sanding process would damage the cups for the pinpoints at either end of the axle, but this turned out to be no problem in the end.

Chassis detail sanding in process..

Sanded to the correct width (metal base just showing)

Preparation for the next few 'layers' that make up the master mould..

Hopefully the body will be a one piece moulding, but this may end up as moulded 'top' and 'sides'.. depending on how the experiments go!

And a nice picture of the prototype, hovering on approach to Stourbridge Town's helipad...
