I have glued the parts to 1mm karton, and since there are no instructions in the book for this part I just followed the markings on the upper frame to see where the parts should go.. The framework is assembled and the two last parts are ready to go inn. And finished Here I have started to cover up the front.I wanted for a while to cut the airholes in the hood and sides, but decided to let that go......I tried on another part just to see how it looked, and it was very difficult to make it look good/real
