Thank you so much! Next I will take care about the engine.
-
Project is finished. Except minor inconsistences in decals, everything came together perfectly. I saved the engine parts as it will not be visible anyway, thus there is a chance to build the engine and expose it as standing alone. Will see hot it work.
-
Chassis is ready. I have left the engine bay and the trunk area almost untouched as they will be closed forever after body marriage. Completion of the entire project is coming.
-
Hi mates! Some update of the build is here. I consider this interior as done, cause it will be permanently covered with the body. No need also to detail the engine bay and the trunk area. Next is suspension coming.
-
I have clear coated the body and need to wait several days until it allows polishing. Meanwhile, I will take care about interior. Having thought it will be almost covered and not too much exposed, the overall detail level of interior is not too high.
-
Some progress after several days passed applying the decals. I had to install back windows before the clear coat due to "Snap-on" decal partially covering glazed part. There is a manufacturer's mistake of "22 crew" tail decal. Word "Crue" should be red, but I can't do anything about it. The overall decals are great quality, very thing and easy to apply.

The ref pic for decalling. A lot of job coming...
-
Thank you so much!

Managed to finish the "worst" part of decal works - these red/black strips and tail light stickers. Bottom skirting of the body is black with only СF part around the exhaust same as original. There is also yellow strip on the bottom of the skirt.
-
Slow progress so far. Small parts are preped and painted.
-
Thank you. Yes indeed. I wil take care about it later after body is finished.
-
I have some progress today. Tested the windshield - all looks quite acceptable. I have done some extra polishing around wind edges to make make them sit even. The body is painted from inside. The threshold is painted black (for this car it is black but not CF). Continued assembling the cage on the floor with some heat reflecting foil.
-
Thank you! Tamiya standard yellow spray TS-16 on top of the white primer works perfect for this Penske car.
-
Have the floor painted and pre-assembled back part of the cage. Looking for СF decals. Those from Cartograph are out of stock 😞
-
The paint of the base yellow is finished with no significant inperfections.
