That’s what also came up in my mind, Maarten. But I don’t know how tight the bodywork will fit around this parts. And there is a lot to be done. Then also the dashboard has to be done.
It's a bit disappointing that Lemke-LeGrand didn't work this out themselves. The older Pocher models did have it to some extent.
Despite all the praise I've given this Lemke-Legrand kit so far, I already have a short list of items in the manual that aren't (completely) correct or that they could have paid more attention to. I contacted them via email about the first one I encountered. I received a somewhat evasive response. That didn't exactly encourage me to share my experience.
It's nice that they've already custom-made the seat upholstery, for example. It's just a bit ‘disappointing’ they didn't properly check the pattern's continuity: the elongated rectangles. It’s twisted crosswise. No, I didn't swap the seats or backrests. The width of the seats and shape of the backrest bolsters are different. If I swap them, the pattern on the left and right seat would still differ by a quarter turn. They themselves have swapped the backrests in the manual of ‘der Blaue’.

Group 3, steps 47 till 54:
Merging the interior and Dashboard.
The base of the interior has been placed in the chassis and bolted down:
With the modular construction of the dashboard and subframe:
Where I can't quite follow Lemke-LeGrand's line of reasoning:
Then they add details to the underside of the dashboard that you'll never see. But I did that myself also with the Duc's too...
We know it's there .....

Group 3, steps 56 + 57:
The dashboard and another engine mount installed:
A few more shots from the other three angles:
Adjusted a button on the dashboard that wasn't shaped correctly.
Group 3 is complete, 73 parts with 60 bolts.
That brings the total to 365 parts and 325 bolts.

Looks great!
Pretty cool looking model, Peter! The red will be the perfect foil for the silver.
