Evening all,

Was faffing today and thought I'd make a thread about it.

This is in my collection and thought I'd give it some TLC before I find it a new home.
I didn't build it but the roof was a mess, buffer snapped off one end and one of the bogeys was in 10 pieces (its held together with blutac in that photo and far side of tye bogey isn't even there.

Used strip magic on the roof and worked a treat, had a bottle for ages but never used it.

Cut the buffer, filed flat, drilled it and mounted on wire, sprayed, cut to length and put it in place.

Resoldered bogey after cleaning up and then resprayed, just got to get a spare bearing insert and then will refit it.

All that remains to be done is spraying the roof cream.
