He has a real flash looking shock now thanks to Sketchy Racer's fine magpie skills and has a flash as carb just waiting to go on his MB100 engine that Sully60 and I are at present swapping a MB50 6 speed gearbox into.

Removed all her painted bits and lightly sanded them, repainted and put her stickers on (Thanks Skunk, they are awesome!!) then gave her several coats of clear seal paint. I also painted her engine
