The
model initially, with a very thick paint hiding the details. |
I split the model. I
shaved some metal from the front for conversion to Serce grille.
|
I
stripped the paint with paint remover gel.
|
I cleaned the whole
body.
|
I applied polyester putty at the front grille and tail lamp sections. |
I applied a primer for testing.
|
I
prepared the front grille on the computer and printed on paper. I made
a trial for reflectors with 0.2 mm thick aluminum foil, and being
satisfied, I glued the paper on the foil, made the reflectors and
filled them with UV-curing nail builder gel.
|
A
test fit of the front grille on the body.
|
I drilled new holes for the front
bumper. I made the front and rear bumpers from styrene sheets and rods.
|
I made headrests from styrene and
added them to the front seats. Then I painted the seats.
|
The
real car does not have quarter glass so I trimmed them off. |
I
painted the top of windscreen clear blue. |
I fitted the inner tub on the chassis. |
I prepared the mirrors from
styrene and glued them in place. |
I made the side bumper rubber
strips from black sticky foil. The taillights were made in the same way
as Murat-124 model.
The front turn signals are made by painting clear orange over aluminum
duct tape. I made the rear "Serce" script as decal and applied.
