    I’ve been a little busy, I have a few more things to add. Probably tomorrow, but I thought I would share on what I’ve gotten finished so far on the rear suspension/brakes.
  2. Chris Smith
    Seems like a long time since my last update. Well here goes a whole lot of black parts 🤣 this is the start of the transaxle and rear suspension.
  3. Chris Smith
    It’s great to see you making great progress. It seems the torn muscle isn’t slowing you down. Sure hope you keep up the good pace on this beautiful build.

    Engine assembly is in full swing, spent a lot of time on the fuel injection system, hopefully you can see it.

    Thanks Tim, I think this one is right up your alley 😉

    I have gotten a good start on the engine. The basic block is multiple resin parts, all the additional parts are white metal. I probably have about 7 hours in the valve cover’s. Lots of small parts to get it to this stage.

    You have been a busy little bee 🐝. As far as I can tell those fuel pumps look fantastic as well as your dry sump tank. I do love the re worked radiator! What’s next on the agenda?

    Another update…. I was able to get some quality time at the bench and this is what I have completed.

    Soooo…. I have an update 😁. as per usual with these kits lots and lots of drilling and dry fitting + checking 5 steps ahead to see where things line up. If you don’t, you might be screaming at your self down the road. So I have started the inner cockpit with some of the computers and small details. The annoying part is almost everything is semi gloss black, flat black. So it seems to blend together. Well I hope you like what I have so far. The inner section is not glued to the outer. I will be starting in the the main floor.

    Thanks Steve. I can honestly say I don’t know, on how many parts are in this kit. Making the clear bottles look like there is fluid inside, pretty simple to do. I used some masking tape to cover the area I want to remain clear and paint the other area with Tamiya clear yellow. Clear blue works well as well as clear orange. Hopefully this gives you a idea

    A little update, front suspension and brakes…
  12. Chris Smith
    I installed the rear cover. Took some outside pictures 😊
  13. Chris Smith
    How about some brake rotors and hats and some detail on the tub 😁
  14. Chris Smith
    After some sorting and cleaning, a lot of drilling I have quite a few parts painted and getting ready to install. i did lay down a couple carbon decals onto the main cockpit. Nothing super fancy but it is a start 😉

    Next on the Bench will be the Peugeot 905 in 1/12 scale from Model Factory Hiro. Hopefully you all will be as interested as I am on this. Thanks again for your support.
