Hi boys,

here´s a little update. Filling, sanding, priming is done and the first spraying shows the way i wanna go. Decided to fix light ( front - rear) to drill in a hole for a three mm led was easy, but for the rearlights hard to handle. The wings are only 4,..mm. But i had luck and don´t drill any hole in the bodysurface

Color is Tamiya flat black, red one will be humbrol flat red.

Also made a little motor tuning

here you can see how small that is

hope you like it a little bit
critics and comments are welcome

I think it's looking really good Frank.
I look forward to seeing the finished article.
what chassis are you running it on?

 

[Frank T]

Hi Dantaylor,

the chassis is a selfmade one, created and built by a german guy. Make some photos next days.

Hi Frank.
Interesting build.
Who made the body?... is it a resin re-cast or plastic?
On a detail note, you say its to represent a 50's style Hillclimb 'Vette...but would they have had extra spot lights?
Nice work, keep the pictures and build details coming.
Regards Bill

Hi Hobby,

it´s a resin re-cast!

And this is a free interpreted version, that could be driven at a hill climb. And the extra spot lights are installed cause it was a night race

 

[Frank T]

Finished this built today,

I´ll only fix new wheels with steel inlets.

Frank,

How are you doing i hope all is well,
we should have another meet-up again MMM style with some nice cool beverages to keep the muse going,
had a good time then with the lads in Italy.

The car looks great, i love the Evil look of it, good detailing too.
Your front and rear lights are very impressive and of-course.....
Matt/Suede/Satin black rocks

Cheerio and all the best

Don't have nasty thoughts, she's only looking for the cigaret lighter he has dropped, and you know what they're saying, smoking can be dangerous.

Cheers,
