BigGrin Hi All

All the white has been painted apart from the rear fin so it was a lot of masking before the red gets sprayed. I will be redoing the cockpit cover but all the rest camo out good.

More soon

BigGrin Hi All

Most of the main bodywork has now been diamond clear-coated just the nose cone and rear wing to do next. Next is to add some decals and carry on with the cockpit front suspension build.

More soon.

Well done; wish my painting skills were even half as good as yours--that's what keeps me building DeAg and other 1/8 scale subscription kits.

BigGrin Hi All

The front suspension has been made up and fitted to the car lower body along with the drivers cockpit and gear lever. Next the rear bulkhead, steering rack and wire mesh radiator savers were fitted and then the upper and lower body's were joined together.

Once the body was dry the hydraulics for the braking,throttle and clutch were added along with the hydraulic hoses to the brakes ect. The framework that holds the nosecone in place was then added to the car body.

More soon.
