Thanks George, Spiros, Cricket and John, ------------

A few bits removed from the sprues and some glued together, the engine pieces look tricky to paint !

I’m sure you will get the best out of this kit, Allan, @kalamazoo.

Great progress and excellent looks, my friend @kalamazoo! Indeed, some tricky to paint engine areas.

Thanks my friends, George, John and Spiros, -----------
my radical solution, what Tamiya should have done, separate the air box from the engine, needs some plastic tube and sheet to replace the saw cuts and attach the air box again !

A brave decision there, Allan @kalamazoo, but I’m sure it’s for the best.
John vd Biggelaar said 5 months, 3 weeks ago:

Some serious surgery, Allan @kalamazoo
Allan J Withers said 5 months, 3 weeks ago:

Thanks my friends, George and John, it should work out OK, a bit of surgery on the swing arm for the chain adjuster as well, pic's soon !
Spiros Pendedekas said 5 months, 2 weeks ago:

A wise decision, my friend @kalamazoo! Looking forward to the next surgery as well!
