1/43 Porsche 962C- Front pt.2

OK, let's do final touches to the front section.

I wasn't happy with the resin air ducts, since I know a way to do a real one. I will do it from a tip I learned in MODEL CARS MAGAZINE from my good friend Gregg Nichols. It's real easy, just dip in clear acrylic varnish or in white glue(what I used) a spring made out of some thinn wire. Turn it from the upper part to the bottom part until it starts to dry. As soon it start to dry, with a toothpick, add (drop by drop) some paint to the inside tunnel of the spring. This drops helps to take out the excess of glue inside the tunnel, and at the same time paint the inside of the tunnel. When the glue dries clear, it shows the color of the paint. Just make sure that the first drop of glue you take goes to the paint jar, because, if not it will go to the outside and you guys will have to start over again. This is why it should be use acrylic paint.

Here you can see the resin part and the part I did. I cut the bases and brush painted it. Also added some Bare Metal Foil to simulate the metal tie wraps.

Here all the parts together including the white ones for the rear brakes.

Here, the finished part already mounted.

The front aluminum apnel was added at this stage. The only sad part it's that all the wiring and plumbing of the brake system now it's hard to see and almost vanished.

This is a final view of the whole section together. It looks much better in person to me.

The front body panel was painted and decaled. As I said in the other posts, I used Tamiya X-15 Blue, witht he Tamiya Lacquer thinner, and a little bit of Gunze Sangyo retarder mild.

For this section I just scratchbuilt with some plastic bits the front signal light marker and an aftermarket Cibie decal. The projection lights were added at this stage.

Here the complete front section duo.

In the next section I will include the best part of the model,..the engine,which it's already started and almost finished.
