MFH Ferrari 126 CK 1/12

Gurney flap mounted at the wing

chassis is complete now

When I mounted the cowl I got problems at the front and...

... and at the main part. There was a huge gap between the side pots and the cowl. Don't know why this happened. I tried to bend the parts, but I failed. So I decided to display the car with a removed cowl.

This is the finally result with a removed cowl and a waiting Gilles Villeneuve for a prepared car.

Hi

Great result on quite a challenging kit!

Let me show you how I solved the cowling issue:

I've replace the two metal pins from the kit by two similar lengths of piano wire glued with epoxy.
Added two small magnets to the side panels and everything seems to hold quite OK.
The ferrous content of the piano wire makes it compatible with the magnets.

There is no doubt that the overall fit of the cowling is not easy, seems to be too much hardware conflicting with body.

Cheers!
