Great built! I took a really close look on your interior. On my build I want to paint the interior like yours. That looks flawless - the bodywork too 😉.
I have a question to the fitting of the rear hatch. Do you have problems to open it now? I read somewere else, that the part between the removable roof top and rear hatch (sprue G, #149 / "Roof Panel") blocks the opening of the hood. That guy didn't glue #149 onto the body so when he wanted to show the engine, he takes that part off.

Hello Christian. Thank you for the kind words on my model. Yes, the engine hatch does bind up on that secondary roof panel. Unfortunately, I did not catch it until after gluing that panel in place and the glue had set. I can still open the hatch, but I have to be very careful when doing so as it could chip the paint or clearcoat.

Thank you for the answer and confirmation. That's a little sad. Bit to be honest: how often do I open any hoods? But if I want to, it would be able to.
