Lovely as usual from Vector, the first photo appears to show the engine inside the kit cowling. I wonder if they actually made the engine undersized to fit the cowl or do you still need to grind the tops off the cylinder heads to make it fit ? With the tight fitting cowls on the Invader unless you plan to display with the cowls off most of that lovely detail will never be seen !

The engine fits the ICM cowl, so there's no need to grind off the cylinder heads.
