Re: B.r.m. H16 - 1/20 mfh

The P83 only, as you can see in this pic, had a covering of the engine and gearbox:


MFH made this covering, nothing to say...:



...but this kit is the "1967 Belgian GP" version:


as you can see in the above pic of Stewart at that GP, the engine cover is shorter, so the one of the kit has to be shortened (red arrow):


so I cut the engine cover, also cutting the piece with the red arrows which would be used to glue the covering over the engine:





Here the hooks to keep in place the engine cover:




On the P83 again, the engine head cover were connected to the oil tank with a clear yellow tube, one for each side (on P115 there was a stiff aluminium tube):


So, as the instructions say, I made those connections:




But, as wrote before, this is the 1967 Belgian GP:


In the same pic of before, please, look at where that connection was.
It is better showed in this pic on the P83 Stewart used as a spare at 1967 Italian GP:


Therefore that connection has to be made in the right way:
