Tony T Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) 2 very nice rebuilds! Nice work! I have done the odd brush paint body job, most recently a Beetle Convertible, I did with Tamiya Gloss Black. I used a bigger brush than you, though. Here are a couple of pictures. I hope it shows the result. Edited September 28, 2009 by Tony T

vizio93 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 nice job on that engine man. i can't wait to see her all finished up
Janne Herajärvi Posted September 29, 2009 Author Posted September 29, 2009 Thank you Vizio. This is slow progress, becouse ill have to make lot of changes in firewall and chassis before its ready for painting. Cheers...
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 1, 2009 Author Posted October 1, 2009 Wired up engine. Needs some work and paint too Cheers...
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Finally i am on this point of project that i can fit that hole on the hood It looks cool on it. Now couple drops of superglue and some putty and im almost ready to paint the body Cheers... Ps. Sorry about poor pic, i was so exited that i forgot to check it before posting
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Small update. Hood is almost done, it needs little sanding before paint. Next step is suspension and anything else in chassis Cheers...
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 9, 2010 Author Posted January 9, 2010 Update! I started to do some detail work for engine because i want it really POP Ill add some more wires and hoses there and then planned to make nice place for that Optima battery and many more things Cheers...
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 I planned to make fuel lines also... So here is starting point
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Chassis is ready to get some details there too All comments are welcome
RS Sport Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Those springs look really detailed! I like the engine as well.
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Those springs look really detailed! I like the engine as well. Thank you Here you can see them in their places, just test fitting pics witch i took before. That purple looks more right in that upper pic
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Thank you Tony There is never too much test fitting on model projects and here is one. Engine in its place first time with chassis and firewall. They fit very nicely, but ill havto make that hood hole little bit larger. Not big problems there Cheers...
