Lunajammer Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The stance is dead on perfect. Any more or less and it would betray the piece. Superb all the way around. Excellent quality pics too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Erik- That build is sweet. Great color. I love the engine details. Where did you get such tiny hoses and how did you make the 90 degree bends in them where they enter the valve cover? Later- Hey Tom - all the hoses and wires are just different sizes of detail master wire. All the AC work is included in the kit, and while a pain in the neck to install (not to mention sanding the mold lines), end up looking pretty good. Interesting paint choice that really goes well with the rest of this well done model. The detailing on the engine is excellent, any chance you could show us more of it? Tiny hoses, clamps and brackets look absolutely real. Bob Bob, here is one more shot of the engine bay. Radiator hose is heat shrink tubing over wire and clamps are painted tape with a small piece of wire for the screw. The brackets are made from soft aluminum decorator foil, cut to size, painted, and glued in place. Small nuts and bolts are PE from MCG. Thanks for the comments!

turn1wonder Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks Erik for the new pic and info, and again, awesome stuff. Other than the PE parts most people have what is used...and now we have less excuses for doing detail work like this Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharr7226 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 That is one gorgeous model. Nice detail work on the engine bay. The vent work under the windshield is exceptional. What did you do to get such a clean result on the vent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The only thing that keeps me from thinking you've got a shrink ray, is that this model is even better than the real thing. That is one beautiful work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
