Some guys will ask: why this model now? There are a lot of good kits on the market.
Juergen said – the most are full of mistakes and they are not true to scale. Especially, the Make-Up is imprecise.
The 'LM' is very good documented, so Juergen can rebuild it easily. The tubular frame is not so difficult like Juergens GTO frame.
The engine is existing. The gearbox he must build.
So the windscreen and the roof section are identically equal the GTO'64 (also in progress), it will be a parallel processing.
These pictures are the first little steps.

At the last days, Juergen continues the work.
A lot of problems. There are no real measurements – the pipe diameter - aviable. If there is any reader with the correct details and dimensions, please send a mail!
It's extremely difficult to solder, thin wires on the thick parts. Overheating and melt away looks around each corner #61516;
