| I don't super detail my kits but I like to have the fuel lines and wires to the spark plugs as they are so prominent. The fuel injection pump are more or less invisible so I am cheating. I attach the fuel lines to the injector nozzles and just push the other end under the pump. But it is a bit hard to keep the lines still so I am trying another approach. I am still cheating but now I start at the other end. |
| I start by drilling four holes right trough the fuel pump. (Two horizontal and two vertical) |
| I pull the fuel lines through the holes and glue the lines at the middle. Then the fuel lines hopefully keep still when I will attach them to the nozzles later. My hope is that the extra time spent on drilling will make it easier to handle the fuel lines. (I'm not even sure that the drilling added any extra time to the build. In fact I think that it will save me time and trouble) |

I have tried to rebuild the distributor cap of the old Tamiya kits. For this I needed a small brass tube. I made a drill template in brass and drilled holes for the tube in plastic card that I later glued to the top of the distributor. I am curious if it will look any different to the standard Tamiya version when placed on the engine. The cap is visible on a P34. |
| Well I'm not sure what to think about the reworked distributor cap. It isn't very visible but the Tamiya cap breaks easily so It could be a reason to do the extra work. |
