Haubenschild

I am proud of this one because its the 2nd or 3rd model I had built

The body is fully painted. I am also aware of the tape marks on the roof , what should I do to remove them?

I have had this kit for a while and since I am waiting for parts for other builds I decided to start it. Here is my progress so far

Decals from VRM have arrived

I think he means Cobra daytona coupe

Amazing work , I really dig the colour scheme

This has really caught my eye , I will definatley be following along

Amazing work on the interior , I am loving this build!

Here is the rear suspension setup attached to the chassis

Great job! My dads family had a sublime green 71 340 Demon. Sadly they also had to sell it because it was very impractical on the dirt roads in northern B.C

what should I do with the engine mounts , sand or trim them down?

After the I stripped the chrome off the carbs I mounted them on the intake manifold

I shot the chassis with a light coat of red oxide primer , after it dried I added some more putty to the chassis and started sanding. ( I still have a long ways to go ) I also shot the rear differental setup with Tamiya TS-17 aluminum

I occasionally check into MCM on my blackberry or on my Ipod when I am outside of the house

Thanks for the advice Mark! I removed all the plasticine and began filling in the gaps with putty. I still have a little more sanding and filling to do , but its close to being complete

Here is the rear suspension w/o the half shatfs after 1 coat of primer

I have made a crude mounting spot for the battery. I found an old plastic tree and cut off a nice flat piece from it to use , then I sanded it flat and attached it right above the rear leaf spring mount. I know it dosent look 100% accurate or correct , but this isnt a GSL model , its a model that'll sit on my desk I also removed all the stacks from the carburetor , now the rest of the carb can be stripped and painted

Everything is looking great! , the paint is really slick!

I have cut off the battery plate and filled in the areas with putty. I mocked up the rear suspension / tire support and I could not find any space to mount the battery plate , the rear body jack was in the way , so I am wondering what I should do. should I leave out the jack entierly? , or try to modify the jack so the battery plate can fit in place.

I removed the half shafts since they will be painted seperatley. I also began removing the stacks from the carbs since they will stay chrome

I ordered the MCG p/e set yesterday.

I am still trying to find the genre of model that really interests me , so I decided to pick this kit up. I will be building the car on the box , and will be using this site for reference http://www.racingico.../004/004-07.htm . This will be the first kit that I will have details such as engine wiring , and fuel lines so some things might may not be in the right spots etc... I have also ordered replacement parts from HRM , decals from VRM , and an MCG p/e set. Now that I have bored you to death , here is my progress........ I have trimmed and filled the chassis , I used plasticine to fill the gaps since I dont have any strip styrene. I am still wondering what I should use to remove the battery mount since it should be at the rear of the chassis

Same here

I picked up mine today , I cant wait to get started!

Picked this up today
