Thanks Paul, I'm not sure mate as the starting handle was placed through the front towing pintle to my knowledge but I'm sure someone will know. I just had a look on line and I believe that it had an inertial flywheel which you could wind up to start the engine so I think the tube gave access to this.

Great to see all your skills being used to get this old kit up to scratch. Looking excellent.

Still chipping away at this. I didn't like the front suspension at all, it is very over sized and designed for the old motorised version of the kit. So I have had a go at scratching a replacement and the steering still works. When I have decided what angle I want the turn to be I will glue everything up

The rear panel was detailed up and fitted

Finally for now I added a pin and retaining chain to the front towing pintle.

Thanks for looking

I’ve pulled up a seat at the back ☺️. Absolutely stunning work on that suspension and steering rack and all the etch and scratch work too…..very nice 😎

I built this kit when I first started and also had the etch set. Made a right mess of it and only just got it together 🤣.
