doorsovdoon Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Beautiful looking build. I love the colour combo. My son built this same kit not long ago and said it was nice kit to do. Need to get one myself seeing how nice they come out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't necessarily rule them out on future builds. Thank you David, I always feel the white or off white interiors really pop especially in the sun. And since you and David (espo) asked I've included an engine shot along with a couple of indoor pictures of the car in the meanwhile. While I take care to produce neatly built engine compartments I don't always show them since I don't build them up beyond what the kit provides. While I do have 30AWG wrapping wire for plug wires I really haven't advanced to the point of adding that and other underhood detailing. As a result I feel my engine compartments pale in comparison to some of the highly detailed examples I see here. I did make an attempt at a fuel line on this one. While I like detailing the engines in most builds, because of the scale we build in it can sometimes start to look a little busy. I feel that something cleanly done has as much or even more of a visual impact than a busy looking subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you like applying decals this kit has plenty of them...lol. 18 hours ago, Bills72sj said: That looks sweeet! 11 hours ago, Andrew McD said: Excellent work!

My one disappointment is the slight bulge in the hood on the drivers side which didn't appear until after I assembled the body to chassis. 48 minutes ago, carrucha said: Very sharp.

smellyfatdude Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Beautiful color, in fact the whole build is a real jaw dropper. I didn't think that kit could be made to look that good! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Oldenburg Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Cool build, very close to the real thing. Also meaning that if you hadn´t mentioned your problem with the bumper fit, I wouldn´t have noticed. Nine shine on the paint! I like👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
