  3. Glad you liked it, thank you very much Carl.
  4. Hello Eric, this kit is completely plastic. Thank you very much for commenting.
  5. Thanks a lot Mathias.
  6. Thank you Chris.
  7. Thank you very much Jeff, the model comes in red, it is not a good red/red combination.
  8. Thank you very much Bob, since the interior comes pre-painted in red/black, look for a matching exterior color.
  9. It turned out pretty decent, thanks for your comment David.
  10. Thank you very much Larry.
  11. Hi Ulf, I'm glad you like it. The rims are quite well proportioned and have their original paint.
  12. Thank you for your words David.
  13. Thank you very much James.
  14. Hello, a kit that I really liked since I saw it. The bad thing about it is the pre-painted parts, not all of them, since when you separate them from the tree, there are visible parts that you have to repaint and the burrs. The other bad thing is the stickers, they should be water-based decals like all the kits have. The combination of red color on the exterior and interior is not the most correct, there are very nice colors for this model. Another thing is the pre-assembled parts, the body comes complete and it was impossible for me to separate the front lights, they had to be masked. The final result is good, except for my own mistakes such as a bad choice of varnish to finish it. I hope you like the model. Greetings.
  15. Hello, it's finished.
  16. I am very glad that you liked it, thank you very much.
  17. Hello, we continue with the progress, we see that the windshield is not completely faithful to the model, so it will undergo improvements such as the position of the wipers. In addition, it has upholstered parts so it will have to be painted the same color as the interior. The body is ready to be assembled.
  18. Hello, for the bodywork I used a new paint, a water-based acrylic, colourless acrylic enamel, which I first tested to see its properties such as levelling, gloss, etc. I thought it was very good but as usual its behaviour on the model was slightly different, dull and with an orange peel appearance, so I had to sand and polish it very gently as that is not its function. I previously applied the decals.
  19. Thank you Carl
  20. Hi, we continue with the chassis, we place the exhaust pipe and the stabilizer bar. We complete the front axle. This is how the hole looks with the parts scratch-made.
  21. Hello, as you know, the model comes pre-painted in red. I thought it was just a transparent lacquer, but no, it had color; I removed it with medicinal alcohol and a hard brush. Remove the mold lines. For the silver color I used Mr Color 8. I gave the chassis about 3 coats of water-based varnish and then a gray color longitudinally. I detailed the different parts of it in black and glued the parts made in scratch. I also glued the rear axle.
  22. Thank you very much for your comments, there will be progress shortly.
  23. Hi Csaba, I've been building this model for a long time. I don't know exactly, but it was a sheet of aluminum that I cut, filed, and drilled. The turns are made on a shaft made of pieces that have been heat-stretched to the required size, and the springs were from an electronic device, very soft.
  24. Hi, we continue with the BMW, we apply acrylics to achieve a unified red color. We prepare the pieces according to the following steps in the instruction manual. Then we begin to color the pieces as appropriate. Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9
  25. Hi Gregory, go ahead and do it if my work inspires you.
