Rear wing mounting:
The rear wing could be mounted only, after the engine cowl is in place.
The rear wing is fixed into small poly caps in the gearbox.

The engine cowl must be removed for installing the f-duct system:

Hmm.., so you can't have the F-duct and the cowl on, at the same time. Perhaps only a problem for people who lose little parts (like me)..?

Yes, thanks for sharing, Torsten!

Cheers,
Chris

Way cool thanks for sharing. two things that caught my eye>>>
1) rear wing mount
2) tire stencil along with the PE seat belt hardware
About time they included some of this stuff in a kit. Now if we could only get some reference pictures too.
This is a kit for sure that I have to have!

how strange...the plastic was blue as well at the Tokyo hobbyshow but then I thought it was blue only for the demo because...a couple of days ago, I stumbled upon this blog:

and the plastic is creamy white & looks really nice!

According to many of the reviews in Airfix Model World magazine, Airfix test shots are often/usually in white plastic, presumably for some technical reason. Maybe Tamiya do the same, and the blog actually shows a test-shot moulding.

sounds right!

wish Tamiya would do all the main parts in white for all their kits. never understood their marketing especially when it comes
to Ferrari. red/yellow/clear version of the same car...

And nothing annoys you more than the red dye bleeding through to ruin that white paint job.
