Hey Thomas, thanks for your nice response. For the moment I‘m satisfied with the result but its still a lot to do. I try my very best to come as close as possible to the original.

Amazing work! Like the look of the exaust with it`s different shadings, splendid result! :)
Is there a shifting linkage running beside the engine or was it a fly by wire system? Don`t remember exactly, for the Lotus 99 it was a mechanical linkage underneeth the exaust pipes running backwards to the gearbox.
Looking forward to the next update!
Take a stand!

Hello guys, @first I would like to thank you again for your nice comments. Now I want to show you my latest progress. The mechanical part is almost done. Only a few parts are left. The quality and the engineering of this kit is awesome. Most of the parts fall together in place. Mr. Hiro please talk about the fitting with Mr. Kyosho :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
