issue 2
Here with issue 2 we get a lot more parts to play with. Most of this is plastic but we also have 2 white painted metal parts. In this issue we begin to assemble the front grille and a pair of headlights.
The headlights consist of a number of parts that all fit together, starting with the chrome surround and nsert, the clear lens (which even has the patterning of the real headlights), the reflector which the LEDs will eventually fit into (all these parts are plastic) and finally the white headlight housing which is metal.
We attach a lip onto the front of the grille, the headlight supports, a grille pice to each side and finally assemble the 2 front anti collision strobe lights and attach these to the lip on the grille (fun fact, on the real car these were actually strobe lights taken from an airplane and modified!). After this we attach the assembled headlight units to the relevant sides and the issue it complete.
