Hi all roymattblack sent this model to cheer my missus up in her recuperation.

First off let me say this may take quite a while as looking after Pam takes a lot of my time, but things should get easier as she recovers.

This model does not have a sun roof as Herbie does so that's the first thing to tackle (luckily I did the samba bus a while ago with the sun roof open, it was a little too wide and long and a little too flat but nothing that can't be fettled)

Nice work on the roof!

Hope your missus recovers quickly!
