Is it just me but the magnet method of attaching the cowlings is totally useless. The side panels in particular just fall off with no apparent attraction provided by the magnets there being no metal parts on the engine block for them to draw on. I thought I'd missed something out but having poured over the instructions again & again I can't see what. Anyone else found this? Anyway, otherwise a great kit!

You have to put "sister" magnets in the engine mount, or something like that... let's see, where are my destructions?...

Ah, here- step 47 "MG1" goes in the intercooler "box", Step 53 a couple in the oil tank, not sure about the sides yet- I thought they went in the engine mount?

Arrrrgh now I see them, step 49, two tiny etched metal parts. Lets see if they make a difference! Cheers
