Now I have to make a firewall and the distributor on the fire wall. I used a styrene sheet to make the firewall and Humbroll putty to close the gaps. For the distributor I used black empty sprue and cut small pieces from it.

Well, this kit is the most worst kit I’ve ever seen! Can it possibly be because the kit is Hasegawas’? It was hell of a job to make an additions to the kit, something simple as wiring… but the parts wont fit at the first place? What do you do then? Well lots of gluing and braking and gluing again… I had enough of this kit, I just want him to be finished! Now when the fuel lines are done, I tried to make them be as close to the engine as possible, still the engine cover now doesn’t fit… Rrrrrr!!!!

Well, that’s it! Made the final touch-ups, had a bad time with the Japanese decal, the surface wasn’t smooth so the decal couldn’t lie as well. I’ve masked the place and tried to paint the red “sun” with a brush.
