Gunze Sanyo 1/24 Triumph TR2 MVC 575 Jabbeke record 1952

[Dr. Trevorkian]

It's nice to finally be building again after a move. I picked this older kit up from Wheels & Wings in Toronto.

The actual car was a factory prototype that was sold off in 1956. It was dismantled and stored for 30+ years and has since undergone a total restoration.

Multiple methods failed to replicate an acceptable aero tonneau cover. I used the Juanjo Mas technique of multiple strips to create the correct shape. The short door lines are filled with stretched sprue.

A heavy primer coat and a wet sand should yield a nice smooth panel.

I will massage the tonneau a bit prior to cutting the cockpit opening.

The belly pan and fender skirts are in process too.
