Also I would only buy 1/43 shame your not making a 1/43 version as I would deffo have had 1

Personally I would prefer if I was buying a big scale model diecast 1/18 but I like me 1/43 better.

I was planning a 1/43rd scale Breen model with a friend and after getting all the pics from another friend I couldnt get the amount of Focus I wanted.

But thats still on hold at the mo

Good luck on the RHD conversion on the model.

When I done the M3's of Fisher and McHale, the Escort WRC of Boland and the Sierra Dashboards for Kevin of KMD Models years ago they where very time consuming

Take your time Ruby on the dash and do a good job

This is what I do when converting dash boards

on the top of the dash where it curves each side cut/saw along the top
Then cut each side where the heater ducts would be, then cut each side of the centre consol and glue and fill together with Milliput.
Sand it down and paint

Paint job turned out really good and I am well pleased. I have been in contact today with Dom Buckley Motorsport about the graphics for Boland's Focus, hopefully that will be another car I can get to do in the near future.

Just finished the dash-Hope you are impressed Mark. Decals are coming along too. Paint job looks good-no more work there. Still don't know if I can risk spraying clear lacquer on the finished car-some of that stuff is bad news to decals.
