Not my disaster, but I am trying to help someone rebuild a damaged in transit model.

Here are a couple of of pictures of what I received.

The stock photos on the ACME website don't exactly match the model as delivered.

Does anyone on here have one in their collection that could provide actual reference photos for me?

Thanks!

Finished it up, waiting for customer to contact me for final plans.

I think that blue bit might be the hand brake:

Yeah, seems that it's the hand brake. The clear lines might run under the car? I'm not sure though.

Would have never guessed that in a million years!

Thanks!

I think the clear lines might go to the two white round tanks either side of the seats, but seem to be way too long.

Found some pics here:

Those clear lines do go to the tanks, and then appears to attach to the roof somewhere. Hard to tell in the pics of the model where it goes to on the roof.

Judging from this photo of the real thing, I think they go to those 2 little holes near the center of the roof wing.

Looks more like brass or copper lines on the real thing, but might just be an inaccuracy of the model.
