Modlbldr Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 This is the next one on the list to finish. My Buddy Mike Flynn gave me this painted body ages ago and I have been slowly plugging away at it. Just have the 5 point harnesses to do and I can get all of the sub assemblies put together. I finished the rear taillights today. Later-
Modlbldr Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Once I get it completed I'll take some shots outside in the sunlight. This paint job has some funky green and pink undertones.Later-
Modlbldr Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Couldn't wait. Here is one I took of it a while back showing the pink. Later-
Modlbldr Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 It's all HOK but unsure of what colors. I think the main color is Sunset pearl. I'll have to ask Mike. It's cool because in the sunlight it changes from bright orange to pinkish to a slight green under the orange.Later-
Modlbldr Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Got the wheels glued on this morning. Now I'm thinking that I should have painted the inside of the wheels. Not sure why they were not done at the factory since the outside was. This is just with the body sitting on the chassis for mock up. I need to make sure that the front sits lower. I had to make the headlight covers out of clear plastic and paint them black because I never got any headlight buckets with the body, so it is just empty under there. I am going to try today to make my own 5-point racing harnesses for the seats out of pop can aluminum. It won't need to be too detailed due to the fact that you won't be able to see much on the inside.....I hope. See what I mean about the inner side of the wheels? Fine for a shelf model but I don't like it. This last shot shows a bit of the green tint, especially if you zoom in on the hood. Later- Edited December 1, 2015 by Modlbldr
Modlbldr Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Here is the interior up to this point. The seats and roll bar are not glued in yet. I started to try doing some 5 point harnesses but I don't have what I need. I'll have to order a couple from somewhere so I can get it finished. Later- Edited December 3, 2015 by Modlbldr
Modlbldr Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Got the racing harnesses done. Next step is to install the interior and finish up. Should have this buttoned up by Monday. Later- Edited December 11, 2015 by Modlbldr
Jurva Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Is this Fujimi or Aoshima. Either way, they often require lowering front suspension, due the universal chassis. Easy job. Very nice color by the way.
Modlbldr Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm sure the front will need some adjustments. Going to get after it this morning.Later-
Modlbldr Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Well, here it is. My third completed build for the year. I had to lower the front suspension a bit to get it to sit right. I looked around the kits I have on hand here but couldn't find a decent US plate, so I had to go with the kit plate. Posting it in Under Glass Later- Edited December 14, 2015 by Modlbldr
