At last, some whitemetal bits. Ok so the bits are major component rather than detailing parts but it's a nice change from all that brass. The splashers are nice clean castings that just need a touch of trueing up at the front. I suppose the designer could have made them up as etched parts but suspect that the sheets were already full so castings were the way to go.
The spring poking out from the back is a clever part - what you see is what you get. The rest of the spring simply doesn't exist. Likewise the reversing lever stops just out of sight behind the tank. Some might feel cheated by this but for a model intended for use is it clever to spend time making parts that are never seen ?
