Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I started a new project, it's a replica of a Finnish drag race car. The kit I'm using is MPC '69 Barracuda. The body, bumpers and the glass ware might be the only parts I'm using from the kit, everything else is taken elsewhere or made by me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I'm glad you like the start of this project, thanks. Here is some progress in the engine bay. Edited December 19, 2021 by Reuhkapelti2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Roll cage made of parts trees. I know it's a bit thick but I can live with that. And it's not exact what a real car would have in PET and SPET class. I made also the race stool, gauges etc. Maybe next time there will be paint over the body too. Three colours, white, red and blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Thanks Stephen. I just asked the owner of the real car, what colour should the cabin floor be...? All black interior, he said. Oh well, here it goes. Atleast the shifter can be shiny. And all black paint hides that over size tubing, kinda.

Cool Hand Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Looks like you are having fun with this build Ismo, good job on the scratch building as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks John and Luke, I really really like this kind of building. I get no kicks if trying to build straight from the box. Those few box stock models just stay stalled in the cabin... Today I sprayed the primer and white coat on the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
