A couple of quick cuts and the bulk of the nose is removed.
The second cut isalong
the hood line and this cut must be made horizontally also.
If the cut is made vertically you will have to do a lot of sanding and shaping to get the nose to fitcorrectly. The final cuts are the rounded areas around the headlights.
These were a little more difficult requiring quite a bit of fitting time as the final
shape mustbe made to match the resin nose. The resin nose has a lip that fits under the
styrene and is intended to be flush with the surface of the styrene when installed. If the
styrene is cut and shaped correctly little or no filler is required
to get a near
perfect panel line again.
The installation was
fairly straight forward. You will find a couple
of vertical extensions for the wing that the kitpart mounts between.
I installed the extensions as required after filling the mounting
holes for the kit supplied wing. The extensions were then cut
and sanded to the lower
profile of the replacement metal wing. The wing was left off until
very last as there
is next to no contact surface to adhere to. When completed the
wing was installed with
a small amount of CA.
