Porsche 917K (MFH): Chassis (VI)

Calling this part done. There are some flaws that required cutting and filing, due to the engine actually being mounted slightly crooked to the cockpit tub. But it will do, and the body fits as it should. 


Piping for the gas tank (right side) and oil tank (left side) and associated pumps has worked out well.


Next is the paint. I have been fixing flaws using an old bottle of Testor's enamel diluted for use in the new airbrush; stay tuned for more. In particular I'll have to decide on painting the nose orange or fighting with the decals, and whether to put the clear on first (recommended by most) or over the decals (protects them).


Stay tuned!
