iderek Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, it's been awhile since my last post on here. And so, I finally got to start on my 86 project~!! This build has been completed, the link here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70093 I haven't done much yet, but started preping the body, chassis, firewall for primer. I will not be doing anything special to it, just some carbon fiber decals here and there, plus a GT wing. More to come~ Edited January 30, 2013 by iderek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Good luck and please keep us posted. I'll probably never build this kit though I do like the looks of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalemodelworld Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looks like a nice build, but I'm not a fan of building curbside models. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iderek Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Haha, you guys won't be disappointed! I hope.. For now, I got the primer on and will be painting it orange tomorrow. This is going to be a slow process, and I apologize in advance~ But you guys can see my checklist! lol Okay, I guess I lied about not doing anything special~ I'm aiming this to be a race car like, but not a hardcore one. Just a simple race car, but still clean. Edited January 21, 2013 by iderek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iderek Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Painted the body orange, and I used my CF decal to stripe it. Hope you guys like it~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takymoto Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looks great! If you don't mind me asking...Where did you get your CF decals at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iderek Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looks great! If you don't mind me asking...Where did you get your CF decals at? Thanks! I got this one from a LHS, but there should be some online as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAone Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looks good so far. An interesting color choice as well. Looking forward to some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iderek Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Looks good so far. An interesting color choice as well. Looking forward to some more. Thanks LAone! and completed some accessories for my 86, while waiting for the clear coat to dry. (The wing does come with CF decals, but it sucks. So I painted it instead, plus a clear coat to gloss it up) I also have some of the chassis done, will be posting more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
