I'm afraid engine block has been glued a bit to far back and then suspension arms from the kit are too short. I've replaced these parts with wire from a paper clip.
31 May 1, 2018
I messed it up ,,,, when touching up the paint on the arms , some paint went to the body. I tryed to remove with thinner and messed it much more ...
32 33 May 1, 2018
Almost finished ,,,, in the end Hinomaru doesn't look so bad .... isn't it ?
34 May 1, 2018
Not so bad ,,,, but colour hue is just a bit different .... let's see how it turns out after the second coat
35 May 1, 2018
First coat to remove the offending black smudge . Brush painted in X2 Tamiya Gloss White with a touch of Gunze H21 off-white
36 May 4, 2018
Without flash , difference in hue is rather more evident , but it's OK to me.

Björn Svedberg Really nice engine build! 👍 I'm looking forward to see the rest of the car. 🙂

Album info It should've been an easy project with a bit of added detail and aftermarket decals, but not to be finnished in just a Week-end.
I'm not Mike Grant.
😉
But I'd like to ,,,,,
So let's see how it turns out ,,,,
Pavla seats were discarded ... too big for the cockpit.
Interior : Tamiya XF-53 , XF-22
Seats : Tamiya XF-63 , Gunze H421
Undersides : Gunze H325
Uppersides : Gunze H27 , Gunze (20 H1+12 H27 + 3 H325
All brush painted
In the end the project took much more time than I'd expected. Not an easy shake and bake kit .... at least to me.
