Thank you very much gentlemen! To TGA, partially turned, it's a piece of brass tube, but don't say it, only the upper is closed! To Thierry, the most difficulty is to find the method. After, only patience and good machines! It's not_to my eyes_ to cheat using a lathe or a mill... It's just the better way to approach_sometimes(!)_ a better result! Dan.

Be careful Olivier! It's been a long time since I wanted to react on this reduction research not only for you of course. I had the chance to meet one of Heller's managers in charge of the production of the Citroën 15 Six at 1/8 scale. What was my surprise when I learned that a model is not strictly the reduction on the chosen scale. The judge of peace is first and foremost our eye, the felt to lead to the image that we have of the real model to the reduced one ... The mathematical reduction will very quickly lead you to aberrations. The blue stripes on your model is a striking example. keep them kit measurements! You can be sure that these measures have been carefully thoughtful to ultimately give a good result to the eye ... Of course, this does not mean that the kits do not include any error! Your perseverance and tenacity honors you sir,congratulations. Dan.

Thank you very much Sam! All the hardware you need are there: https://knupfer.info/shop/ Very serious, fast, a german dealer... Yes for the springs. Very easy in fact, 0.6 mm copper wire wounded around a 0.8 mm metal rod. Dan.

Not so bad in fact... Go ahead man! Dan.
