Nissan R89C

CIAO ALL!

I'm doing a quick search and...... surprise.... I didn't post anything on the WIP area in last 2 years.... it is umbeliveable to me....

Things aren't that I'm doing nothing at all... but my modeling activity is so confused and complex in therm of modeling subjects, in therm of civil modeling subject and at last just in therms of numbers... that I can't show something decent...

Well: a "contest" in one ITA forum would help me to quit my modeling crazyness... and the cure is one of my kid's preferred models: the R89C: in fact I own the kit I guess by 20+ years...

It would be full open, and I used the shortcut to cut two models... so good fit and less worries: well friends I leave you to self-explicative images... let me know if something is un-clair and thanks all for watching: CIAO.

Well some of you know me..... do you think I'll live with only a couple old PE set? Obviously not.... so I felt myself in the hard position of NEED a custom PE set... at least I would be the ony one to own it :D (green square are parts for the MB 601 BF109E4 engine in 1/32....)

I start the job on the engine also: pure fun....

For some reasons I cut apart engine block and gearbox... in fact when I got some job on GB ready I ended screwing up the block.... so I combined parts from two different kits

I also choose to keep separated both block's shells, or would be hard do any wiring job between aspiration ducts.... joint can't be noticeable at last

ciao!

Ah bas***do, questo perchè non combini nulla...!!!! :iceslolan

Ehilà Gio, glad to see you back in operation. Excellent start !

R :)

Great to see you building again, Gio! This is a great subject, and it looks like you are well prepared to put in some great detail. I look forward to seeing your work! It is sure to be fanastico!

glad to see you back Gio, gonna have to follow this for sure, any idea what Livery your gonna do, you seem to have 3 choices from the pics, excellent start to the engine

Hi guys, thanks!

Steve: TBH I have apart the pink "Italya" scheme also: the full detail, opened, car would sure be a '89 LM Calsonic car. Yellow FromA decals would needs a modded body (and mod. mechs if full detail) since they're for a R90CK: I'm tempted to put aside a curbside runner.... also since I own one Hasegawa also.
TBH they are 3 the Tamy kits involved... but I lost one..... I must find it before the end, would be cool display a spare engine without gearbox....

Good to see you back at work Gio. Nice start!
If you decide to do the FromA 90CK....i have pictures of the original from Goodwood :-)

This build will be a real treat. Thanks, Gio.
