[Specie]

Getting closer to finishing this one. I got stuck for a while when I realized the engine cover no longer came close to fitting properly. The bodywork on this kit has little tolerance. Some modifications were needed.








I ended up damaging the carbon fibre decals on the lower bodywork panel when trying to get to fit in to place. It relatively easy to fix with a patch.


The engine cover did not fit partly because it warped slightly and because of interference with the rear suspension and the exhausts being pushed in by the body work. Some trimming was needed.




The photoetch bargeboard assembly are difficult to assemble and fragile because they are essentially held by thin 90 degree joints. As can be seen, I needed to be creative with my jigs when epoxying the black panel connecting the two bargeoards.
