STAGE
This illustration shows you where the firewall will
go inside the model. It is a panel that separates the
engine housing from the passenger compartment.
Initially, its function was to prevent fire from spreading
inside the passenger compartment in the event of a fire,
which is no longer a danger in modern vehicles. Today, it
mainly serves as a barrier to stop heat radiating into the
passenger compartment from the engine housing, making
driving more comfortable.

A USEFUL TIP
When you have to handle small pieces or hoses, it is best to use a pair
of tweezers. Thanks to this tool, you can avoid sudden movements
while you are assembling the pieces, which could scratch painted parts
or even break tiny plastic pieces.

HOW TO STORE THE PIECES
It is advisable to store the unused pieces or
partially assembled parts of your model in a
box, kept in a safe place, where they cannot be
damaged.
You must also ensure that any wires or hoses
maintain their correct position. It can also be
useful to attach labels made with paper tape to
the pieces, indicating their codes.
