Body Skin 4.5 - Silver Panel work

Finished of cutting out the two remaining slots on the Side Vent.

I fitted the 'Pocket' that goes in the Pocketed Front Vent. This along with the Front Coin return and also the rear Octagon Port, were secured with P40 resin.
Any gaps were later filled with wood filler.

Front Coin Return & Pocket Vent bonded into place with P40 resin.
I also glue in place a piece of wood to locate the rear screen for the Pocket Vent.

Decided that R5's body needed some colour, so masked off the skin and sprayed up the front Pocket Vent, the front Coin Return & the newly prepped Side Vent, with silver.

I then masked off the front Vent Panel, where the two central vents will be fitted, and sprayed this up with metalic blue.

    1. Thanks. My R5 build was inspired from seeing your work at Corsham, a few years ago :)
