Thanks guys. Not bad in two weeks or so.

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

And those two last pics...............

A very good kit that goes together well, with it's own PE in the box. Plus with all the different decals now on offer you can build whichever version you like.

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

From 'on the workbench, the finished kit..................

Both towing eyes fitted, this is the rear (obviously!)..............

See you tomorrow.

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

Cheers guys. Rusty 85, not in this case but I've started printing my own decals for Hellaflush models as I can see them on the web and reduce them to fit the models.Like this one which I will use on a rallycar and others...............

So if you can find a suitable image you can download it and print it on decal paper, but don't print and sell any!

Cheers Paul, although it's only 8.46am here in the UK I was up at 6am to get to Tesco to buy today's veggies,as my wife had to get into work early in our one car. So I've been in the cabin already, attached the front light lenses, and the rear light units and painted the red lenses. and painted the rear brake light that slots in the bootlid.

I'm looking at the masking info in the kit, when I've masked the windows before, and tried to get the mask off I've scratched the edge of the paint! So I'll think a bit more about that especially when some need to be painted inside and some outside!

Right today's work on front and rear PE mesh, rear towing arrow, gloss coat, slightly darkening the bright silver as though the body has been in the rain........

And so onto tomorrow, fitting intakes on the sides and under the bonnet

Cheers JT. Yes I feel a lot better seeing that many watchers are happy the way I left the fixed wing section.

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

Cheers Nacho Z, yes I've just been out to the cabin and attached four PE airvents to the body.

'The Cabin'

We had to build one as my stuff was all over the place, and after 40 years of marriage my wife wanted the dining room table back!

But we built this 'log' cabin in a week, 5 years ago.

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

Cheers Carl. a few more decals and small bonnet and bootlid grills (prior to fitting PE grills on top) today................

Decals on the bottom of the doors and small VDS decal on the side of the front wing.............

And long decals on either side of the bonnet...............

Some more on Monday.

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

Thanks guys. Ok Kenny, It's decals all the way at present!

Yes maltsr, I looked at that one on the web, but couldn't get it the UK at the time.

The aftermarket decals are thicker than the norm which can have it's own problems especially over the wheel arches where it has to conform three ways.

I also looked at these but the importer could'nt get anymore as the French maker had stopped this one due to lack of sales................

But I can imagine the Good Smile decals were interesting to lay up as well!

[Fujimi BMW Z4 GT3 Racecar]

Decals started................

Five on this side................

And four in this side so far........................

Only three days so far. I must try and do some more tomorrow..................

Thanks Jesse.

Hi Andy ,yes I tried various different 'Yellows' and nothing seemed to match, so I thought to leave it alone.

Thanks Carl.

[Monogram Lemon Crate refurb]

Cheers Pim. I was watching the Bathurst race on Sunday on TV. And you've got another great Motorsport weekend at Surfers, where I visited about 10 years ago for a month.

[Monogram Lemon Crate refurb]

Thanks Mike.

[Monogram Lemon Crate Refurb Done]

Cheers John, I bought through ebay as an already started, but various bits were missing plus it had part of the front wing missing due to a moulding mistake at the factory. So I tried various things and found bits to fix it or scratchbulit bits.

[Monogram Lemon Crate Refurb Done]

[Monogram Lemon Crate refurb]

And a few more............

I didn't get the chain on the tailgate done as I could see how to fix it on. Oh I also put in the headlight lenses. Right now which is the next build?

[Monogram Lemon Crate refurb]

As I've been lazing in the 31C sun on the Greek Island of Rhodes for a week or so I thought I'd better finish this.

So the exhaust, front bumper, fuel filler and tail lights are done so here she is............

and a few more to come.............

[Kiwi Model Car Show - Photos Added!]

Super pics Paul, it looks like a great success for the first one, hopefully you can make it a regular event!

[Monogram Lemon Crate refurb]

Cheers Dan. I'm hoping to get the chains on the tailgate, and the exhaust made up this coming week. I'm also looking at making a tilt with sheets on it, but we'll see.
