Andy,
Thanks for the explanation on the fuel lines for IDF's. I had already realised that it was definitely a fuel manifold mounted above the coolant hose but I couldn't reason why it would go to the scuttle but a fuel pressure gauge is now the most obvious. No I can't look under the dash!
I'll try to tuck the bent pipe down to hide the kinks.
It's a shame that with so much attention to detail by adding so many under bonnet parts that they shoot themselves in the foot with a wonky moulding. Also the rear tyres not being wider than the fronts is a bit of a basic over sight.
As my other half says I'm always finding fault !!
If David reads this I can advise that the spare tyre is a very tight fit in the boot!

Hi Paul,

Anyone after a suitable show case could try
Anticsonline
They do a 364 x 186 x 121 case for £20 which I might investigate.

Hi Paul

eBay. It's the Kyosho in the Sebring livery. You can get it in blue too (road spec in blue is NLA)

It came from Spain, seller was Escala-18

All the catches and door latches work in the Kyosho!
