Brizio

True Scott, but this time I'm building it stock... Thank you Andre!

Welcome DaSpeedinger, very nice job on the Merc. Did you paint it with a brush? It looks very good!

The engine almost done, the rest of the wire, carburetor will be added when the engine is on the chassis with the body.

Paint and chassis looks good. Also you can make a sanding tool yourself, buy some sandpaper and glue it to a piece of wood, or other hard material.

It is a beautiful car...

Here the body painted. Still waiting for the hood, doors, tailgate etc... I did not glued the fenders on the body like the instructions said, because I think it is easy to paint them separately.

THe wood work looks great!

One tire done, 4 more to go...

Looks beautiful in red!

Here some progress, more an update because I didn't go forward with the building... The lower front end of the car, on the kit is straight down, in the real car it is in an angle... Here the piece in a more realistic position...

And I was not planning to do a lot... Thank you Richard.

Nice car, can't wait to see more of it.

The leaves are a great detail, love it!

Looks great!

The hood has two pins, that if you want the hood in the open position you need to leave them, if not you need to cut them.

Some progress, filling all the injection marks... Also I removed the exhaust mount. In the instruction they show that the exhaust need to be cut, so this piece need to be removed. The piece I'm talking about.

Forgot to put the picture of the gas tank. On the previous picture of the gas tank on the chassis I glue it wrong. the hose need to go on the other side. The gas tank filler hose is molded on the body... So I will remove it and make a new one. Gas tank filler hose removed.

I though they used the same 2CV chassis for both, apparently not. I'm also disappointed on the plastic the kit is molded, been a new kit, the plastic looks from the 60's! Infact it remind me of the plastic the Renault 16 was molded.

Nice job! Glad that your kit came with engine, mine doesn't... But there is a turbo...

If I remember correctly there was a resin curbside model of the three door of your car. I don't remember who made them tho, but guess the company is not longer in business. I don't know if you have experience or not building a model kit, but maybe you should give it a try, and try to build it yourself. There are a lot of parts in the box, and could be scary, but is not. If you don't have experience, here on this forum you can ask all the question about building your model. If you build it yourself I think it would be cool, to build an homage to your 1/1. I did different model for commission, and sometime people don't realize how much time could take to build a model. I had few accident when the person agree to pay me some money, but when I gave the model to him he pointed out the the paint was different. And was the same paint used on the real car... Another one pointed out the antenna that was too long... What people do for don't pay...

Thank you Lloyd! Agree... Next I need to make the gas tank, and re do the hooks on the chassis. Thank you Richard! I still don't know why they did not made the shock longer...

Thank you Lloyd! I added the frame that will hold the body.

New suspension system, compared with the old.

Some update, I start to cut the suspension from the chassis. Made some shocks mount. Some more...

Great job! Chassis looks beautiful,
