Richard, this machine looks almost real!

That is a beautiful finish, Richard. Looking at the photos it would seem like an exotic blend of Alclad or AK products.

Almost David, but gloss Tamiya and Mr Hobby paints.

So a bit more progress on the body work. The nose of the car is complete and test fits like a dream. I also had a quick test fit of the roof and windscreen, but I can't fix these in place just yet. To be honest there is actually no need to glue them in. They seem to just snap into position perfectly and stay there. This will be great for the windscreen as not to get any glue on the clear parts.

With the front complete I moved onto the back end of the car. As with the nose, the rear consisted of photo etch grills and carbon fibre decals. It was time consuming work but gives a good end result.

Oh, really, Richard, this is a beautiful piece of work.

Well, not far off, but still work to do! I finally finished the interior by adding the seat belts in the aftermarket set. It's odd that they don't come standard in the Tamiya kit mind you. With the interior finished the roof can finally go on.

The boot cover was next complete with the photo etch parts.


So I just need to complete the doors and wing mirrors for the final part of the build. But that seems like a lot of work looking at them. To be continued...

Cheers mate! Yeah, I’m happy with it! There’s always room to improve though.
