She looks like the weevils have been in the flour draw for some time.
Have you decided what follows?

Little bit done today but it's time to get the kids from school . It's actually not too bad to do and pretty easy to get at. Next project are the Vickers Light Tanks as they've been waiting long enough.

It certainly is so much easier when you can turn things over for access

some of the bends must be done in sequence or you wont get the material into the machines. You need a folder and a press brake to do these and of course think ahead before you press the button.

The top of the dash was fairly well gone so I decided to remove it all and make a complete new part.
