Big bits, swift progress

 

Detailing the Bullodog isn't a slow process. Great big lumps of plastic clad the inner body shell. Part fit is excellet, so it's just a case of splodging on some Contacta cement and pushing the part into position. The nearest to difficult, is making sure the louvres on the side are the right way up. 

Around the back, there is a hatch that can be opened behind the seat. Is this a boot for the farmer to store his tools and sandwiches during the day? 

All the mudguards are on a single part, and it locates on to a few stubs, but I found a clamp helped it sit perfectly on the side of the body, there is a couple of mm gap otherwise. No problem getting the clamp in on such a large model though!

Talking of big lumps, I made up the wheels. Each tyre is solid rubber, and quite a weight. The centres just clip in, making sure the treads are the right way around at the back. I'm not sure if the colour on the tyres is mould release, or some sort of weathering. I don't dislike it, so it can stay. Maybe a wash of brown will sink in and give it a bit of colour eventually.
