| I shaved the
bumper sides to blend the bumper profile at the wheelarches. |
|
| Putty mess
after the application at the tail and sides. |
|
| I tailored
a side covering panel for the hood. I did not like the headlights, so I
glued the kit's lenses in and sanded them smooth with the body. |
|
| I met the Nascar
air intakes while excavating my parts box. They looked OK for a
nostalgic-based
looks and incorporate modern Xenon-lighting. |
|
| I cut the tailored
side panel, so as to define the parting line of the hood. I glued the
front
parts in place. |
|
| I glued the
other part on the hood, taking care to mate well while drying. Then I
applied
putty all over where necessary and sanded them smooth. |
|
| I then applied
a primer to the car. |
|
| Day 5:
I painted the car metallic dark green, put two clear coats over and
assembled
it. It was 30 minutes before my deadline to leave the house, and only
the
headlamps and front signal lamps were left undone... |
|
| The rear lenses
have BMF applied under, for a shiny red when hit by some light. |
|
| The inside
was painted dark leather brown and light grey. Floor, gear and
handbrake
levers and gauges are flat black. I also painted the hazed parts of the
windshield flat black at the inside and the frame flat black at the
outside.
Sorry, no time to put carpeting or drybrushing the gauges. |
|
| A general
upper view of the car. |
|
| And
deepest thanks to my loving wife NAZLI, for her patience in letting me
build this model, instead of sharing our last times together before I
left.
I appreciate her saying that this is the model she likes the least!!! |
