Got my mufflers from a fellow forum member that printed them for me. I made them for a 3,2mm tube.

Got my exhaust made with my freshly designed and printed mufflers. Also installed the battery box and cables.

Would be appreciated if you could ad it in as Jpgs ?

Drag week

Got new paint on and clear tonight.

Well its back. Need to Work on my painting. Probably need to use decanted paint in the AB to cover the panel lines better since it seems like it’s shining through. Or it might be the clear that I put on to heavy.

Sweet build! Nice details on the engine!

Super Nice build! And I will be looking for those decals from slixx since I can get hold of mor of them because I rally like it. Have that kit on the table right now. But don’t know if it will be a mascar or not..

I will get one of those at the next opportunity, thanks for the tip. As you said I went with what I had. I am trying to work on the brush paints skills as well. But I can’t get the Vallejo paints to lai down as nicely as everyone say they will. It Might have to do with patience and getting the right viscosity and coverage on each pass. I did spray the bottom color with Tamiya TS red but the bottle was bad and did not lay down good. Should have decanted it and put a drop of black in it. I should probably re do the parts for the interior ?

Had to mix the colors since I didn’t have the right one on bottle and since I have had such bad results with AB and acrylics I felt that I want to get it done, so I went the quick way.

Interior under way.

Nice!

Great turtorial. As mentioned above it would be great if some one could update with new pictures ? @iamsuperdan you are a moderator right? Is there a way to make a library of these good turtourials? I know on AF forum we also had a lot previously but they get hard to find if not in an section by its own where only turtourials are posted. Also they tend to die when the picture hosting sites no longer get paid for ? but that I guess can be sorted with this awesome forums library?

Keep it up m8 looks cool!

I get to say as AC/DC say.. because I am back! Back in Black! Hood have some swirlmarks that I could not see in primer hope it looks ok after polish. I did put a extra coat after the picture was taken so I have some room for polish.

Nice! Headers looks sweet!

Also managed to strip the paint today. So I will sand lightly to morow and then when I get the delivery of the new cans I will spray this body as well as the other one.

Thanks guys for all the inputs. Yes I rushed a bit and that cost me both time and money in getting new cans. Stupid of me. I tried to sand it down even further after I had used micro mesh and polish to try to bring it back with no luck to see if I could salvage it but I couldn’t. Also noticed more orange peel on the cab when sanding. So it went in to the pond of break fluid today. Will need to go through and brush of al the old paint to night. Have ordered new cans of primer and paint and will try to Finnish before the end of the month. Wish me luck!

My mess up with the clear was not skin deep so I have to strip it and that’s the worst thing I know.. so I started an other 1500… might try to throw the original 1500 body in some brake fluid to morrow and se if it comes off. But it was fun to build some thing else for a bit.. will see which 1500 that will cross the start. started today and had a great go on an awesome kit!

I will need to strip the paint since it’s damaged down below the clear. Have not done that the past 10 years… so I…started an other 1500 today.. chassis is glued and primed, clear to morrow.

Beautiful work there!

Beautiful build my friend! It’s a great kit, have it started here in the forum and in the boxes. And since you mentioned the Tamiya kit, this is much more accurate since the Tamiya kit have a to tall roof in my eyes. Again great work.

Came Out incredibly well! The design is intriguing and very new to such a classic design great work! And as mentioned, that display is some thing on its own!
