Denis, thanks, really interesting. Chris, I think the good news is: You can pick the colors you want! Looks like history supports any of these combinations.
Denis, thanks also---I never realized that 1046 didn't have the gussets either, looking at Provamo they were at least added around '1056. 1046 did have the 'wide' FIM tank.
Chris, I'd thought that the only choices of color in the engine bay otherwise were just shades of black...On one hand, the "cutaway view" of the engine compartment is eye candy for seeing the car parts, but of course its almost a cave once the carpeted engine covers are in place. But at least for textures and gloss;
- the most unusual text are the support bars between the roof B pillar and the tops of the wheel wells. I remember these as some kind of texture, not exactly a crackle finish, in semi-flat gloss.
- inside of the engine covers looks like a heavy enamel...see pic.
- side walls are high build texture
- lots of splatter everywhere.
I think at least, perfectly safe to finish all suspension in 3/4 gloss.
