As usual I started with dry fit.
To use the Top studio's detail set, you have to modify the making order for easier work.
If you make in right order, you can easily proceed. So I think planing and deciding the working order are very important and it must be very different from that of the instruction of the tamiya kit.
After dry fit, you can see the gap between two parts.
Made guides for easy positioning and fill the gap with styrene sheets.
After filling the gap, modified the shape of this part. (Sorry, I don't know the name of the part. Could anybody tell me the name?)
This part is not fit to the radiator well.
And checked if parts are fit well each other.
I hope to fit all the cowlings together after I finished all the details. So I kept checking the parts' positioning.
There's no gap between those two parts in real M1. I should do something afterward.
After modifying the shape of the resin part and checking the assemble of each part, remove this part.
And trimed the styrene.
Made the mount to correct the positioning of the guage.(I'm not sure it's the correct name.)
And cut the carbon panel below the front cowling.
