The tyres are in traditional Italeri style far to wide. The wheelhubs are a bit of a challenge if want to paint the surroundings of the star in the body colour.
The "opening" hood is now impossible to open and the fit is lousy (could have been my mistake though) I just forced it open, permanently destroying the opening mechanism. Problem is that the fit is OK, but when the chassis is fitted the radiator will push up the front part of the hood.

Better don't fit the door windows, as they don't align very well with the windshield frame.

I have the same kit also in 1/16 scale, with exactly the same sprues, just bigger. Not built so far.

I thought the same when I saw the hubcaps. It's going to be tough to manage that cleanly. I'm thinking very carefully dry brushing several coats.

Thanks for the tip about the radiator. Maybe sanding off a couple of millimeters from the radiator base will solve the fitting problem.

Probably will leave the side windows off as well.
