Firing mechanism for the missiles complete. A brass rod connected to the cigarette lighter, will pass through the engine block and push the actuator. When the missiles are hidden, the mechanism doesn't line up with the launchers, so they can't be fired accidentally.
Once deployed, the mechanism can engage the launchers.
Front and rear bumpers complete.
Started construction of the seats. The side bolsters are packed out with scraps of plasticard, then filled in.
Since the interior floor is raised, there's no room to fit seat rails. They'll be fixed in position.
The seat base is shaped to be as low as possible.
Seats backs under construction. They'll be hinged to tip forward, as it's essential to be able to get the cello on the back seats.
