New "customer" on my bench ! After the end of the Talbot , I decide to move on a new project having as raw material the ancient Tamiya kit (first edition in 1977), which nevertheless manages to stand with dignity even today (after of course a few reissues) .
Because I couldn't find the same kit in 1/12 scale anywhere in Greece, I decided to "bring" the little one to as close a level of detail as I can.
My goal is to superdetail the content of front hatch (scratchbuilding all the components) look at picture 2 , detailing as much as I can the engine trying to achieve something like picture 3 , making the rear hatch to be able to open and close , opens the driver's door and making a full cabin cage .
Also I will add some small details like realistic front grilles for the intercooler , 3D air intakes on the rear fenders etc .
I don't plan on working on the suspensions much, just carefully building and painting them.
First step is to clean the body from the strong signs of mold , and then make the vehicle stand correctly, that is, parallel to the ground since the first test shows it standing with the front lower than the rear.
Finally, the wheel openings on the fenders, which are considerably smaller than correct, should be enlarged.
This is the first blood of this project , and lest we forget, there is still one pending matter to deal with now that I am having an appetite to deal with him : 1/32 Mitsubishi A6M5c Zero from old Hasegawa kit #S11 (1980 rebox) which just means I'll probably work on it in parallel with Porsche as I usually do .
So far for now , the working week is ready to start , more the next weekend .
Keep yourselves safe and the quality high !
