Rear mudflaps

To the home page

This kit's rear mudflaps have multiple problems.

The mudflaps in this kit

There are two holes in each mudflap. One of them is cross-shaped, making clearance for the tank's tail lamp.

In the real Tiger, these mudflaps were identical, except for the attached folding flap. But this kit doesn't have identical mudflaps. This kit "mirrors" the main panel, putting one of these holes on the wrong side.

To make things worse, the misplaced hole is the one indicated here. It's the one that was supposed to make space for the tail lamp.
