The level of wiring and piping was challenging but I am getting better at it. Practice, practice, practice.
The oil cooler on the left front corner of the engine compartment is a photo-etched piece from Scale Production in Germany.
Period photos show a range of added gauges in the middle of the dashboard, ranging from a row of auxiliary gauges to a large clock for the copilot. I went for three large gauges, and have skipped making a Halda Speedpilot.
Seats were stolen out of an AMT Cobra which I built a number of decades ago, and which suffers from a number of flaws, both inherent in the kit and those arising from my skill level at the time. The kit included styrene seatbelts. Seats had to be raised slightly compared to the Cobra.
Next is white paint and a blue strip along the side. The paint will be slightly off-white (Tamiya TS 7) and I have taped off the square number pad which will simply be covered in gloss coat.
Stay tuned!
