Funkychiken Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 The last bit of this build has been painful, i've had to try to fit the chassis into the body 3 times, each time - something broke & fell off - and it didn't fit very well. the chassis sat too far forwrard for the wheels to sit in the wheel arches. I ended up having to cut off two lugs in the engine bay to get it t finally fit... next pics will be in the finished section! was supposed to be done by Dec, so its nearly 2 months late, but broke the duck for 2020!

beeRS Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 You got there! This is looking great. I see you use the same Blu-tac side mirror support method as me. Will we see some under glass pictures soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sorry, neglected checking in. Yea, I think there is a flub in the engineering of final assembly, at the engine end of body to chassis, I had trouble too. I was not happy with the wheel well gap over the back wheels. Love the paint color! So close....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkychiken Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Cheers Buddy, I'm not happy with the stance, or fore/aft fit of the chassis, but I'm calling it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing Ive done recently is to use Tamiya's static brush to use just before painting. It wipes off dust and eliminates the static charge so you are less likely to get imperfections. It's meant to dust off displays models but it works well for painting too. Good hint. Been using tack clothes but these are difficult for small parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I just happened to look at this thread myself. Georgoeus work on a pretty unusual looking Porsche body. Gotta get me one of those (the model that is?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
