Did some work on the chassis for Hawk Lotus 30.
I'm adapting on of the SRC Matra sidewinder chassis to fit. This involves trimming the width of the chassis and reducing the length as well. By using this chassis I can keep the full cockpit of the kit body. The chassis has had a section cut out behind the front axle and the this removed section has been glued with epoxy adhesive to join the two sections back together.

Did some repair work to one of my Airfix Vanwall cars. I have a Mk 1 pin guide version with a broken rear wheel and a while ago I bought a Vanwall wheel set and I have now changed the rear axle on this car. The replacement wheels supplied by Airfix have wire front wheels and steel rear wheels which match the twin exhaust version of the car as apposed to the all wire wheels as the car is supplied.
I have also painted the Lotus 30 body in a close match to Lotus British Racing Green. I have also reinforced the chassis join with some more epoxy adhesive and used it to fix the exhaust to the chassis.
I have also sprayed the Aurora Ford GT body with white primer.

Did some work on my George Turner Ferrari 801.

I've found a much quicker and easier way to clean the Airfix rails. I had intended to use metal polish to clean the rails and found that using Auto Sol didn't effect the conductivity of the rail. However I have now acquired a fibreglass pencil and this does a very good job of cleaning the rails and is quite quick as well.
