Good job, now, when you moved the rear axle backwards, what did you do with the suspensión arms? specially lower suspension arms, wich are molded to the under structure.

Thanks

Questions:

Are those engine heads scratchbuilt? or did you take them from another kit?, in such case, which kit?

Where do the little white Lamborghini scripts on the engine heads come from?

Great work, you really brought this kit to the high level.

When I moved the rear wheels I cut across where the white plastic line is, then forward, horizontaly at the height of the axle. You can just see the line in the sanded back area. I was then able to slide the whole part backwards including the upper wishbones.

The engine heads were extra parts out of an Enthusiast Countach kit, intended for the Quatrovalve version of the Lamborghini V12. They were extras in a 5000S kit, don't know if they are all like that or if I just got lucky. Lamborghini scripts are from the Fujimi kit, intended for the brake calipers.
