This is the 1969 Mallard. I made the wings for the nose, the cam bumps on the hood, and the flares at the front suspension openings. It has been primed and sanded. Next will be the white primer and then cut the panel lines. The 1968 in the background is in primer and I will cut the openings tomorrow. kip

Cut in the panel lines and put the rivets on. This is the 1969 version. While not shown, I cut the panel lines on the 1968 and am ready to put the rivets on it. kip

They are Archer G scale railroad rivets. They are resin rivets on decal film. I would suggest not trying to apply more than 5 or 6 at a time. Any more than that and they are hard to keep in a straight line. They have good adhesion. I like them.

First the 1969. Does not look like much but I have finished a bunch of time consuming details. Made (vacu-formed) and added scoops to the right side. Finished tires and wheels (from HRM) and temporarily placed them just to show them off. Left side. Added 3 scoops and opened up hole for the turbocharger. Also added the little curved lip above the turbo hole. Little sanding--especially the scoops) and its off to the paint shop. Gary said the decals are on their way. The 1968. Finished the rivets and added the chin spoiler. kip

Paint is on. The suspension is finished (chromed brass rods). Cockpit is done.
Roll bar is on. Fueling apparatus installed. Turbo unit installed. Everything is scratch built except: Steering wheel (from a Gurney Eagle), seat (from a Ferrari 250 GTO), seat belts, Offy turbo, wheels and tires, and dial faces, and the fuel thingy on top the rear deck. Decals are next (GWS), clear coat, then the dreaded windscreen, and some minor details. Then finish the 68. kip
