9MT - Body Fabrication Done (Almost)

I know it's been a while, but the weather has been good so gardening and mucking about with my car took priority. 

 

Finally I have made the extended tank tops and filed them down to fit.  First photo shows the tops glued together and a card template I made to help with the fitting to the much wider 9F boiler.

A large file was used to knock them down to size - not one of those tiny little things that we modellers mostly prefer. Here's a shot of the body with tank tops bonded on

So, just a bit of filler to tidy up and I'll be redy for some primer to see how flat the joins are etc. Then more black paint!

Ran round the body with diamond files and 1200 wet or dry last night so it's ready for first coat of primer to see what still needs fettling. Needs to warm up outside first though!

bit of grey added, a few areas to address

Saw marks on the back of the cab where I split the sides to splay them out is the most noticeable blemish
