Firstly, an unfortunate close-up of the soldier from last week;

To finish, I only need some white glue.   The scenery-specific PVA I had went off, so I had to toss it.   I just want to add some groundwork to his base.   Something simple, like sand.

I pulled out a long-running project;

1/24 Revell Datsun 510.   I took a Dremel to the fender flares molded on the body, as the wheels I want to use would not clear.   Wasn't the neatest job, but I will be building out replacement flares with putty and styrene.

Intentional mis-mounting here.  I'm aware the interior panels are swapped.   I mean this to look like some race car, so I figured stripped or plain side panels made sense.   Once I source more #15's, I will scribe the door lines on the backs.   I think the seat is Fujimi; they seemed to always have a number of spares in their kits.

The centerpiece, and reason why this project is long-running.   Resin Nissan SR20DET from eBay.   This casting was meant for mounting in a curbside kit, so there was no provision for the lower third of the engine.    I've tried to improvise with the oil pan from the kit engine.   I've since had the fitting shown here removed.   I need to shim it up a bit.  Silly turbo exhaust screws everything up.

Finally, slow progress on another started project;

Cockpit-fuselage for the Airfix 1/72 Blohm + Voss BV 141.   Why do I say it like that?  Go look it up.   I can't satisfactorily explain the thing.   Have fun!
