Lovely work Kars! Very nice kit and I watched your WIP with great interest!
I’ve just read your wip on your website and it seemed like a decent kit (bearing in mind it’s an older kit)
Was there any real change to close the gap between the upper fairing and fuel tanks or was this the closest you could get them?
All in all a lovely build and how beautiful is that bright yellow color 🤩

The gap is like it is what it is.
There is hardly anything to bend, so i blame it to being an old kit.
Maybe my resin kits of the Sharknose will be different.
The actual car had a gap too, but maybe less.

Very nice work Kars,
I’m building this car myself. But I’m puzzeled where the gear rod goes to. It begins from the shifter assembly.
But also the manual is unclear to where it ends.
Is it attached to the gear box?
Maybe you can help me out.
Regards,

Eric

I seem to remember there was a small hole to be drilled.
