And further ...

The inner roof, with a length of 28 cm, is very large... the rear window is inserted and rounded...

Glue with small paper tabs...and let dry thoroughly.

Sincerely
Kurt

Hello

Now I'm starting to install the inner roof, first gluing it in one corner...

... and continue to move forward step by step...

... until the roof fits halfway, a difficult task!

Sincerely
Kurt

And further ...

... with the middle part ... first glue it on one side ...

... then connect the second side and the cut again with small tabs ... not perfect but I'm almost satisfied, but who is perfect? Not me
Best regards
Kurt

now continue...

... with the front inner roof part ... which I pre-round on foam rubber using round wood ...

... and glue again with small tabs ... first fix it to the rear tabs and let it dry.

Best regards

Connect the cut edge with small tabs... and glue forward step by step.

So the inner roof is installed, the three-part division made installation much easier, but it was still a tricky matter.

And continue with the three parts for the dashboard... reinforced with 1 mm cardboard.

Kurt

Hello

I insert a 3 mm cardboard strip into the dashboard... installed in the front...

... and another look backwards.

Sincerely

Hello everyone !

I would like to thank you for the many likes. Your interest is a good motivation when things aren't going so well

And further .....

In contrast to the inner roof, I will put up the outer roof as a whole... which will first be glued together with 70 small tabs...

... I'll start gluing at the back again and gradually move forward.

This is where the first inconsistencies emerge.

Best regards
Kurt

Good work, have been following along. I wish I had as much time to make such rapid progress with a kit myself.
What's your plan for dealing with any fit issues here?

Hello Siwi,

My plan is to conceal any fit problems by spatula with thick glue

and further ....

Now proceed with the gluing further and further forward, a delicate procedure... There are problems at the front, 1. 3 mm are missing at the top, 2. the same with the window pillars, 3. There is also a gap on the side which I will fill with glue.

I also had to improvise with the windshield and the result turned out as you can see.

Sincerely
Kurt
