Continues to be amazing things to see here!

That really brings back memories ... I also saw it run at Connecticut Dragway. Very well done build!

A photo would speed help along also

eheh ... Ferrari's don't always HAVE to be stock!

The grill looks wonderful! Decals will be doing this justice.

Two was the new one .. now it's four!

Everything looks great! .. the hoses on the crane really make it!

really nice on the inside of the bed ... so little adds so much!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I had been considering doing the Airfix kit I have here just because it has an engine, despite the small scale on this small car. I didn't realize it went together so badly and may rethink it ... at least I might have my preferred 1/24 done.

Looks real good! The wheels look great .. such a pain to do with the black centers. I have a set for a 944 I owned I'm building and painting the wheels has really slowed me on it. How did you mask the wheels?

This has a good feel to it .. will be looking forward to watching it come together.

well, another type of wash to go with all the others ... I use india ink and water for a wash .. about 10% ink. I always had bad luck with enamel and acrylic washes ... they just never seemed to show as well as the india ink. This is harder to clean off later than water based paint is.

Ricardo dropped the body over the chassis for a test fit .. some torch work is needed but he's smiling ..

wow .. first test fit of body to chassis and with the window tape off since the beginning! There's an interference with the hood hinge and the fan belt ... just going to cut the belt as it will be very unnoticeable in the end. The body isn't tight down but looks good with a slight 'press down". I'm pretty happy with how it fits with all the mods I did after disassembling. The body paint needs some touch up behind the driver's door ... my fingers picked up some metallic paint somewhere .. that's not the door paint.

Continuing to patch small areas on the body as they show up under primer. The bottom of the trunk lid is getting there .. I think it is very close now and will see with some more primer. There are some panel lines still needing the scribers to define better for applying BMF first. I want to document well what it takes to get this very early Air-Trax TR4 resin kit up to snuff. So excuse all the photos with little change. Be assured their newer bodies are VERY good! The TR3 chassis had some .06" widening pieces epoxied on with glass cloth reinforcement. It fits really well now. Next step is to get the stance right now that the chassis is a drop in fit.

very nice! .. the dust is especially effective

Welcome to the show.

I'm loving your descriptions, jb ehhehe

those are some great looking paint reflections!

Good luck with all your packing and moving ... it is exciting when you get to find something that will suit all your needs. I've been in this house for 26 years and so far it's completely filled out needs ... 2 kids and a live in Mother-in-Law. And now the basement is all mine as a model shop. I dread ever having to move again ... they can just dump me under the basement floor!

Gorgeous build!

Coming up from the grave ... I did more to progress the turn signal pods as far as how I'll do it. Going to just carve it out as chunkypeanutbutter suggested. I had to epoxy with fiberglass cloth to patch an area that got too thin with my grinding out the body. While putting 2 part bondo over the thin area I added some around the very crude trunk lower panel line. It looks like it did some to smooth it out but will need more I see. Needs some primer to really see whats left, thou. The chassis got primered and will be needing some side pieces to close into the TR4 body. I also started making a convertible top boot as the one I cut down from a '51 Chevy is too narrow and shaped wrong.

Maybe it's patience or maybe it's just enjoying the build, but I finish one a year if I'm lucky. I'm amazed at those that crank out a half dozen builds a month! Every build is unique to me as every one has a story behind it, be it a car I owned or some fantasy. I last built an "out of the box" with no modifications when I was 12 in 1958 ... I was chopping tops on the next one.

This must be the difference between European and American car guys ... I was looking for a carb from the title and it's a BBQ grill!
