Packs included here are 101 - 105.


PACK 101:

The parts here are for the rear upper grille and detail parts.

The upper grille was modified by cutting out the centre section and replacing it with a flat piece of sheet plastic.
This was then repainted silver and vent decals were created for the outer surface.

The main engine cover panel was cleaned of the decals using acetone free nail varnish remover, lightly sanded with 1200 grit wet and dry and then primed before receiving final coats of dark blue.

At this stage, the front body panel is fitted to the car.


PACKS 102, 103, 104 & 105:

Thepe packs contain internal parts for the rear engine cover.

These were all de-seamed and repainted satin black before fitting them to the engine cover as per the instructions.

Looking very nice Roy and great to see one of these being built that isn't just put together by sticking rigidly to the build instructions?! I like the blue you've chosen and that's a nice glossy finish that you've achieved there too. Cool ThumpUp

I also like your replacement 'louvre' decals on that engine cover, looks very realistic even in flat 2D configuration?

Very well done and keep it coming. ThumpUp
