PowerPlant Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 This is an excellent model kit... Looks great so far
cartpix Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 It looks good, so far. I'm looking forward to seeing it going together. It looks like a pretty easy building kit, with great detail. Jeff
debaronFR Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 great job! perhaps you can add some electric cables. i don't think muffler pipe are black but alumimium: this the build of a friend:
Cien1986 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) great job! perhaps you can add some electric cables. i don't think muffler pipe are black but alumimium: this the build of a friend: Really thanks debaron for helping me realize the mistakes that i made... i just blindliy follow the color instruction on hasegawa manual what a disaster........ i think the muffler color is Matt black on the outside so i assume it will be single color to the head of the exhaust after i really look at it oh.... its really aluminium color on inside..... and there is a fuel rail pipe on yellow colour... i really want to add it.. but i have no idea what material is used to made the connecting pipe that connect every single carburetor which is chrome colour on my pics below if possible can i take a look at the left side of the engine that your friends build.. i will be very greatful... thanks Edited June 20, 2013 by Cien1986
Cien1986 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 great job! perhaps you can add some electric cables. i don't think muffler pipe are black but alumimium: this the build of a friend: may i ask why your friend paint the seat brown color? from what i know is red seat with white lining... is there any other testa rossa type out there beside Hasegawa and MFH? because it looks nice too on that brown colour... the interior references that i get
debaronFR Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Ok Henry, This is the kit you are building, and you're right about the black color of muffler line. the picture I showed is for a red TestaRossa... sorry to disturb your work ! Edited June 20, 2013 by debaronFR

Hahaha i see so that is red testa rossa really thanks for the information Mr debaronFR about the black testa rossa.. could you give me any hint how to build or what material is used on the fuel line since its custom made (not include in the kit) it looks so nice and neat... really outstanding job... i wonder if i could make one like that.....
Chillyb1 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 This is a great kit and a great car. You can, of course, build it anyway you want with any colors you choose. I have a building tip for you: Do not install part #E6 in step five, as the instructions say; instead, wait until you have mated the body to the chassisto install it. This means you can't install the seat backs in step 8, but you can install both E6 and the seat backs after the body is in place. This makes it much easier to get the body on the chassis without as much stress as is required if you put E6 in place earlier in the build. Does that make sense? Here are two I've built:

Here are two I've built: i get it and really understand because i already glue the part on the body and just realize the side effect..... what a disaster really thanks for the information i really appreciate it about the the testa rossa you've built.... its really sharp and nice.. specially the red one maybe because i like red car, hahaha it really give some strong, solid and oldies impression over there i wonder if mine will be like that ...
Cien1986 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Some update here Permanently glue driver rollbar, steering rod and dashboard this is the look of under panel now after fixing the differential parts.
Cien1986 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Can't hold to see the result so i try fit the unfinished body shell to the chasis side looks thanks for participating on viewing and comments
Cien1986 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 I know the wire wheel looks so unreal... so i decide to replace it with metal wheel "still back-order status on HLJ'
gtx6970 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Looking really good so far , keep it up. I'll have to keep an eye on this one. I have thought about building one of these as well as an early 250 GTO for myself Edited June 22, 2013 by gtx6970
Cien1986 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) here is some update i manage to get electric wire from local electric hardware store so i take the inside wire to roll on the sleeve finally i manage to install the wire on the engine (thanks debaronFR) haha i realize when i installing the wire it not 'scale look' enough but its the best i can get on my place...
