The air inlet ( Quickboost) required filler and a lot of sanding!
But it offers a view up to the first compressor stage, and not just a "flat dent" like the kit part!

You did a great job with this little jewel. Really admire the detail and paint scheme you put into it. Well done.

I thank you for your praise!
The really good kit makes the path to the beautiful result much easier.
It's a shame that the manufacturer didn't add a few more kits...
