Almost done with this area. Just the center cap (where the pipe hole cover used to be that supports the model for camera work) area left to complete.
Yes. Most of it is simplified. The amount of rubbish the original has glued on to it is unbelievable. Some of it is embarrassingly ridiculous. Good luck Matador, maybe you have more tolerance for pointless junk glued on to your model than I do!
