| Here is another view from the sam arm, cleaned of parts moulded by Tamiya |
|
|
|
| I remade the small arms using plasticard: Made a hole (0,3mm) un the perpendicular arm. Here are pictures of the work done. |

|
| Right, the original, as moulded by Tamiya. Left, the remade one using Evergreen. |
|
|
|
| I also put a piece of plasticard at the rear of the underpan. |
|
|
|
| This the rear firewall, as moulded by Tamiya. It is to small (not long enough). There is a lot of mould marks. They made holes that are useless. The oval parts are not correct and are molded with the firewall. |
|
|
|
| So, I decided, once again, to make a new part, using plasticard, and remade the correct depressions. Lacking the rivets, etc. Will be made later. |
|
|
|
| Top of the body is temporarely put in place, to check everything is alright. |
|
|
|
| I decided to remade braces (where Tamiya also made an error), in brass. This is square brass 2x2mm. |
|
|
|
| Using my mill machine I made 2 more correct pieces (in my opinion, anyway) |
|
|
|
| Here they are simply put in place, no gluing to check. |
