Group 5, steps 71+72:
The Bodywork.
For this group, I am going to show some extra photos. To further underscore the quality of this Lemke-LeGrand kit.
The base on which all the other parts are mounted:
To prevent the paint from being damaged by grease and dirt from fingers, Lemke-LeGrand even includes a pair of gloves.
Just without a distracting hand for a moment. It really covered perfectly with paint!
The inside is also finished very neatly:
No casting residue or other imperfections anywhere.
In this video at 0:30 a view of the die-cast production:
Beautiful chrome and metal parts:
The fit is also perfect.
All 'glass' parts are also neatly packaged:
With most parts additionally shielded.
The first parts installed:
I am still making a print of the original license plate that belongs to this 'Der Rote'.
In terms of detail:
Even the molded 'Bosch' with logo and 'Germany' is legible on the 1.5 cm lens inside the unit. I did have to use my macro lens and extra lighting to capture it nicely in the photo.
Neatly secured on the inside with small screws:
The chrome is very sleek. Even the photographer is visible with virtually no distortion.
