Twokidsnosleep Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) A lot of work, far from perfect as it is a faulted from the start but fun to revive something. I can't build cars in 1:1 scale, so fun to do it in 1/24th scale Cool stuff along the way: I tried a lot of different things on this car Made the entire rear deck, wing and vent cover in dental resin by moulding taken from another kit Media blasted the body with an air abrasion unit to completely strip paint and get an even surface Remade the front suspension/shocks/ tie rod so that the wheels would steer, rotate and fit the Fujimi aftermarket rims Made disk brakes and body coloured rotors, made door handles from copper wire and round aluminum stock Wired up and detailed the Porsche flat six engine, aluminum flared exhaust tips Sanded and then coated all glass in AK Gauzzy or Future to repair a lot of glue damage/scratches Multi-toned greys in the interior Splash paint and Gravity 2k clear...first cleared body I have done and not the last! Before: This was a Monagram kit a bit battered up and no rear deck at all After: Edited March 29, 2019 by Twokidsnosleep spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 That came out great--I'm envious! (I'm still looking for a hood/engine cover for my own glue bomb.) Well done and drive on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will notice mine looks best with the rear wind and deck posed open..it came out OK, but not a perfect fit Thanks for all the nice words guys. This was a good one to finish off.
