If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate

TBH I'm thinking more on the lines of continuing what's there, just something to paint black & hot have an obvious hole

Hmmmmm ... but an exposed rear end says "look at my lovely oval fuel tank that's built from scratch, not a pipe"

It seems to have taken me a long time to get to this point, not helped by making one side the wrong size, FUBARing another one trying to heat & bend it, in the end I just used the Tamiya scriber on the inside & folded it.
Lot's of layers of details to go ... the windows look wrong ATM, but they still have some fake rubber seals to go on. |

Found lots more reference pictures, the original (higher res.) version of the orange one has been very useful, cutaway original is not much better so is of little to no use - but it might help with the seats...
Bit of reinforcing on the inside: First layer of details on the side, also note the hole in the existing box ... Roof skin snafu - glue collected in a void where I didn't squash the two parts together properly, 1/2 an hour later the fumes had done this: Peeled the offending panel off, I'll leave this overnight to harden off properly, then sand back & try again. Could still do a bit of work on the front/grille/bonnet though:

It's daja vu all over again ...
... and specifically for the grille: - find or draw diagram of grille, resize & print - Pritt stick to thin styrene sheet - very carefully cut apertures with craft knife & steel ruler, don't make any mistakes - remove paper & glue grille to another bit of styrene. |

... and for the side louvers:
- find/draw image of louver, print 2 copies & glue (Pritt) to styrene sheet - use one of those to cut hole in styrene sheet, glue that to second bit of styrene - cut fine strips of styrene - cut those to length & glue in "hole" from 2nd step - use 2nd copy from step 1 to cut out surround & glue on. |
