Scale I Build

Found 1 result

  1. This is my „cosmetic restoration“ of my old Gunze kit. Built in 1989, I never installed the bars in the nose opening and lost some wind deflectors (on both sides and on the hood) over the years. I was never satisfied with the rear window - see below. When starting to restore the model, it dropped onto the table: the spare wheel fell out, parts of the roll-bar also, and the fuel -filler cap dropped into its hole in the body (was glued from beneath) – let’s get started repairing it (pic below is from 2005)! Rollbar and spare wheel mounts out- time for restoration ! (October 2024): I scratchbuilt the missing grille bars and the hood deflector from thin aluminium sheet, tinted the rear window with 2 shots Tamiya smoke clear and cut a window seal out of black electrical tape. The loose parts could be reglued again, license plate was removed and the number decals got a second layer. The left side rear lights came from the spares (again lost the originals) as did a windshield wiper for the driver’s side (no wiper included in the kit !). The spare wheel was fixed with 3 leatherstraps which is wrong but I did not have another solution) - all the following pictures shot today: The car is similar to the Sebring ’65 class winner, but it should have # 15, the sponsor decals are not complete and slightly too large. I added #13 at the rear, but could not remove the “USA” sign any more (superglue, and I have long run out of this blue paint, so I let it be)
