When I was thinking I'm doing final assembly came an unexpected... Axis is more thin than diff and I didn't saw this on pre-assembly...

Cut off axis in 2 pieces.

Seeing my references pics and I could make a sleeve like as real car parts..

I lost my morning handle with this... but it's ok... Diff will be painted again and I hope they looks more real when it done...

Thanks to see! More to come!!

Wow, wow and another wow. So far, this is looking like the best build I've ever seen of this model. And very few builds can stand up to the kind of macro photography you've shown us.

I finished some parts

My friend Drago asked to me "why didn't you gave a special attention to diff? It's a showcar..." I'm think about it and I re-worked diff...

Awesome work Cesar. Wheels rings and lips and pulleys are the biggest two reasons that I want a lathe.

Thank you guys and sorry for my delayed!

@Rick: You can do much more with a lathe... This is the best toy for our hobby!! Buy it if you can... you'll do a lot of great stuff for your models.

@Ron: I'd used automotive Crystal Antimon Gray from 722 Mclaren.... PPG Code is mer701, with flat clear coated.

I'm too near to the end, but side and rear windows are broke because a little mistake during painting... I was strip out paint with degreaser and windows cracked and broke.

My great friend Cliff sent me out a windows set and when they arrive I'll paint them and the final assembly will start.

Thank you guys!!

Cesar
