kelson Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Started a new build a few days ago,decided not to build it in the box art colors,going with a Tamiya Bright Red exterior and a wheel swap.Interior colors i'm still debating. Wheels are from the Huracan. Have a few of the chassis parts painted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo64 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I've had one of these kits somewhere in my stash for many years. You don't see too many of them built. Can't wait to see how yours looks when done. Steve A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Looks good so far. Love the red color. I agree, those wheels needed to go. Can't wait to see what it looks like in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel change was needed,the stock wheels look pretty bland,thanks for the comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Thanks for the comments!,...okay a few updates,the kit engine has very little detail,so the block was painted Mr.Hobby Stainless 2,then a wash of Tamiya Black panel wash and some Tamiya flat red and Vallejo black and some kit supplied wire and decals. Chassis complete and wheels added,pretty simplified as is most of the kit Lastly the interior, i went with a red/white interior and thought afterwards it looked like a Mighty Morphin power ranger🤷♂️even though the decals are 35 yrs old they went on just fine ,i did spray them 1st with a couple light coats of tamiya semi gloss clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwc43 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looking good. I noticed one thing, no one makes the new race harness belts. I guess we could make them ourselves if we wanted too though. Should not be that hard to do. The new belts have a latch link about in the middle of the writing on those belts. In the real world it keeps the shoulder belts from sliding out to the edges of the shoulder so that the impact does not break your sternum. I never broke my sternum in a crash before these were available, but I sure bruised it up one night in a crash. On all belts, the shoulder harness should be Y'ed in the back behind the seat. On this kind of belt, a lot of people miss it. Those to larger link pieces on the end of the shoulder belts should be on the lap belt. When you hit the release, that large belt release will fall and pull all the belts apart for a quick escape. They work the same way on the latch link belts too. Whoever designed it that way got it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
