Drive sprocket and idler wheels
Note shallow dish contours on late idlers
Kit suspension components
Real parts by comparison, note contours of mounting brackets and other details
Basic engine block and image of actual engine showing the contours and other details
missing from the Eduard part, this simplistic detail is carried through to most larger interior parts.
Scope for substantial extra detailing to lift the overall appeal of the kit.
