I’ll just throw a few more

The reason I don’t post much is due to a lack of support, why take all this time to take pictures if nobody’s going to look at them? Right? Got the upper A arm support do dadd’s added. UV glue does the job, then sanded back to form, bla bla bla…

Shocks are on

So I split the front clip, and used L stock in order to make the front slide on and off.

I couldn’t stop and take progress pics, so here’s where I’m at today on the chassis. I’ve been trying to replicate the actual carbon fiber pattern on the original version, which is hard. Every car is different. So I’m using a little artistic “direction”.

I started working on the chassis, this is where it needed a lot of work. kit piece

I started working on making the clips, the front clip between the windscreen and monocoque has been most challenging, but I have a solution… The major construction comes when trying to line up the top and bottom parts, such as the spaces between the body and vents/intake on the kit, this took massive amounts of modification, my recommendation would be to save the money and scratch built it Doing it this way, you have to consider how the engine goes in and the bottoms part of the body, not to mention, how the heck are you going g to line all this up to paint this livery?

I started working on the body, in order for me to do what I wanted it had to be separated, of course… This is how the body comes from the box.

I started collecting for this kit 5 months, to a year ago. There’s many many builds of this kit, a search will show, I think everyone has one. I wanted to put together every single aftermarket transkit, part and decal available for this kit and combine it into one. so this is my attempt. Tamiya base kit (I am using two, you’ll see why) Hobby Design PE set HD02-0237 MFH photo collection book, MHB-6 Studio 27 Decal ST27–CD24026(which suck! waste your money!!!!) Top Studio Detail Master Wheels Set TD23123 Zero Paints set ZP-1203 i also have some print parts from eBay which aren’t readily available that I’ll incorporate With all that being said, there are a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH load of scratch built parts, box parts, stash parts, etc.

Wheels are going to be tough! I may have to mix and match!

The tools

Bringing in a few extra kits and pieces to complete this one! some other junk!

All hand hammer pounded, rounded, welded with hinges. Their all too big, I’ll take them all off and replace them.
