Hi,
after many months without working on this model I've decided to go ahead and make the last effort to finish it.

I've got a bad surprise (it should be better to say: another bad surprise) because in the box I cannot find one big part.


It is the part identified in the instruction sheet as F20 (a protective shield for the front-bottom of the vehicle).

What is even more annoying is that there is no "F" sprue in the box !


Any suggestion on how to find that piece ?

Is there anyone who has already scratchbuilt it and can share a drawing and measures ?


This kit on one side is really beautiful because it represents the vehicle with a lot of details, but on the other side it is a nightmare for the plastic quality, the assembly
of the parts and the erros in the instruction sheet.

I'll double check tomorrow but to the best of my recollection I didn't have that part either. However as it's on the underside it's not noticeable. I agree with your comments on the quality of the kit but with patience it can be built into a lovely vehicle. I look forward to following your build.
