Just a thought here, that driver could fairly easily be converted to a greatcoated Staff Officer, standing beside the car. :)
It's a thought :)

So, my thoughts had previously turned to the underside and "what to my wondering eyes should appear" ....

Image

The green parts came from a Roden RRAC that is had been a hanger queen; the white stuff from my Evergreen stash .... There is no attempt to accurately replicate the underside -- just to have a something to represent an engine, transmission, prop shafts, and exhaust from a side view.

This should do it for now, back to topside ....

Well I'm no expert, but that underside looks appropriately busy.
