Dann Tier Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 LOVE the kolor, Thomas!! seems to me that MOST German cars look their best in shades of grays, blacks, silvers, and charcoals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy124 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Okay... So it's been nearly 4 1/2 years since I last posted in this WIP. And that's exactly for how long the kit has been sleeping in a box. I've been doing lots of other stuff during that time. I built a LOT of vintage US cars, something I'd never done before. And some race cars and a selection of JDM and European sports cars. (Feel free to click the Scalemates link below to check them out, if you like.) Anyway, I'd like to move forward with this build now. I remember all your kind support while I was at it in 2018, and people asking whether it's been finished or not, even years after. I really appreciate the interest and would be happy if you'd follow me along during the next steps, which will hopefully lead to the finished model! I started off slowly... had to check out where exactly I was when I took the break. I remember that the modification of the wheels to the chassis was a bit exhausting. I am using a lot of aftermarket parts for this kit, as Fujimi did just as much wrong on this kit. The wheels are 18 inches from Scale Production with a metal center part. I had to work out a way how to fix the brakes inside of them and and then fix the brake/ wheel to the chassis. This is where I am now. Front brakes: Rear brakes: This is how I plan on doing it... The "spacers" have beens scratch-build: This is what the metal wheel center looks like from the inside. One of my concerns is to have enough stability after glueing the spacer to it... This is how the rims look now. The black outer ring will be painted in silver later. Even though stored in a closed box for the whole time, the body could use a little cleaning and waxing: More to come soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
