Thanks

So far i have found 2 different kits for brakes, 3 for other details. All have differnt detail parts looks like this is going to be an expensive build.

Will be worth it in the end tho

You will be busy...just few days

Looking a very nice model, good luck with it

 

[Guest]

Nice bit of kit there Mr TPM!

 

[Paul Davies]

Put everything else in hold I just couldn't wait any longer to get started. More detail parts are on way. Need to decide on colour. Was thinking blue with yellow details.

 

[Guest]

Blue...?

Will not lose very much the silhouette?

Is a big model, how about a light colour outside, this kind the interiors will be more visible and detailed.

 

[Paul Davies]

seen a few 1/24 in blue and looks ok. Just don't wanna do it red cozs that's what everyone always does

 

[bluriusz]

Make it Rat style

Like this:

That will be something original

 

[Guest]

And white...?

Will be ok on blue keep the pics coming!

 

[Guest]

Daytona yellow! Ferrari's look much better in that than in red IMHO

 

[Paul Davies]

Had a few more bits arrive today and managed to spend a few hours to look through instructions and make a start on a few bits.

Front and rear sub frame had been assembled and ready to paint.

Chassis is cleaned up ready for paint

Cockpit for is together needs a bit of cleaning up

Enigne is started ready for a few detail parts to be added before painting

So far this is one of the best produce kits i have worked on in a while

That's dedication!

I don't think that I have ever, or even would, put that much extra detail into a car kit. Very overwhelming in my eyes. But if you like that sort of thing, then I say enjoy that project!

At a rough count nearly a 1000 parts with more to come!
