Anybody that has attempted this kit will know that the model has a lot of fitment issues, I didn't realize how bad it was going to be until I got into the build.
I started by removing the paint from the pre painted red body parts.
The front end of the chassis does fit rather well, a little tweaking needed, the main issue was getting the engine cover to line up with the floor and front section. I have had to split the engine cover in two down the top line to change the angle and cut the side pods so they could be realigned to match correctly.
After many days of filling, sanding, filling, etc I feel as if I have got the fit to a respectable level.
Now the main body work changes have been completed I have been able to work on the engine, gearbox and fuel tank ready for fitting.
And also the seat, the customer has supplied a set of MFH seatbelts to replace the very poor kit parts. I have also flocked the seat and arm pads, and added carbon decals to the cockpit sides.
I should now be able to move this build on pretty quickly, next step is the suspension, I will add some more photos when I have that completed.
Thanks, and if anyone has build this model before, please let me know as I would like to know if the same issues were apparent with fitment that I have had with this one.
