beeRS Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Wow Roberto. This work is fantastic! You say you're not an expert builder, but It looks like you are. I like your innovate ideas like building the seat from the old roof, and the moon tank. Some of the pictures look like a 1:1 car build. I'll be watching.
cobraman Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 I love the solutions to your problems you come up with . Keep it going !

I live in a provincial village and there are no model shops, of course there is the internet, but the costs are often too high. For this I have to get by with what I have. This is my first model for at least 20/25 years
oldrevellfan Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 your work is awesome ! love the idea for the rollcage using part of the roof support !
Rob17_107 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Posted May 10, 2020 Paint the floor in aluminium color, chrome yellow rollcage and add NOS ! I started from Playmobil fire fire extinguisher, painted and print advert
Rob17_107 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Posted May 10, 2020 Today make a parachute. I take old ammo holder and cut a square section, the bag was made by used nitrile glove, eyelet are used primer, wires are earphone cables (thin cable ) and old usb cable.

James2 Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Great looking build here, nicely done detailing too. I wonder what something with a shoulder, like a .223 would look like?

I wonder what something with a shoulder, like a .223 would look like? Hi James, thanks! I'd try 222 but not good it's too little , I have also tried 6.5x55se but it result too long. Perfect diameter for this exhaust type are .45 cal, but 45 acp is short. luckily I had some old 45 colt . If you want to use something with shoulder you'll must try .458 or similar I think Edited May 10, 2020 by Rob17_107
Bernard Kron Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 These are such spectacular kits even in their stock form. The detail and realism that Monogram packed into this large scale model has got to be one of the high-water marks of the early years of plastic kit engineering. And your superb design and fabrication work exploits what you've been handed to the maximum. It's really a treat to watch your work. Bravo, Roberto!
Rob17_107 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 installing brake pipe, fuel pum , gas pedal leverage etc etc
Rbray47 Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Awesome project! Bonus points for the use of 45C casings. I dont know if 458 socom is available in Italy, but it would probably work as well (45 cal at the opening with a larger diameter below the bottleneck)

Sam I Am Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 I love it! Thinking outside of the box, and in one instance, even using part of the box !
Rob17_107 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 today making interior design. I bought chinese cheap photoetched 5 point harness on ebay (see here) and steering wheel for 1/10 rc car (it was made in metal!!) For the price are excellent! On other site I bought the 1/12 switches for switch panel. The dashboard lights made from clear frame of the kit (it hold rear window, headligh t glass etc). Also I make some details for nos tank. I use large pistol primer for gauge and handle.
Rob17_107 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I realized that switching panel is really awuful :P... I make another , much better Edited May 20, 2020 by Rob17_107
Rob17_107 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) finally done! here the last parts about construction. Edited June 28, 2020 by Rob17_107
Rob17_107 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 I think that integrated airscope is better
