This series is based on the Minerva43 kit. Front and rear lower parts of the body are moulded with the chassis. For best fit and accuracy, these will be cut and glued to the body.

The rocker panels lack a bit of height and give an unrealistic low aspect to the model, so it’s necessary to add some putty to correct this.

Photo-etched part for the floor of the cockpit; after careful bending, the result is quite realistic.
