sorry for posting this in the wrong forum. can i turn it to the racing section?

well done,maybe more wires could make the engine room more lively

The brake looks good... Is it photo etched?
Nice work done so far dude!

I have this model on my "to-do" pile so I'll be watching this very, very carefully! :)
The engine looks very, very nice. Although I have to agree with aeroace, some wiring would make it come alive :)

Please keep us updated!

Regards,
Pedro.

good luck with the kit ;) I have made this as my 3rd model, and let's just say I wished I saved it for later =/

Cool, will be keeping a close watch on your progress. Is that the Studio 27 photo etch set you're using on the brake discs?

thanks to all~
wires will be added soon (after I have get rid of 635 CSI), yes, i have got those reference pics in this forum, so probably it will be more or less with those pics~

i used the Studio 27 PE SET(the old though, ocx it is cheaper i guess, and i bought the pe with the kit for HK$150 (i am from hong kong))

so i will keep this up as soon as possible
thank you all again~

Very clean gonna track this one :iceslolan .

Nice work. I am just starting on this kit as well. All I've done is paint the white on the body,and start cleaning parts. What color do you plan on using for the blue?

i have no idea yet.
probably will be a mix from the GSI anyway....
i got three blue paints and hopefully i will mix it untili i got the right color

got some updates~~~
i cut apart the door pieces jsut to let it in a better place.
the door will not be open at all....

welcoming comments

Very clean build so far! One of my favourite of the group C cars, liking this one a lot. Go on... open the doors!

I've got one of these on my shelf. If I can do .5 as good of a job as you've done so far, I'd be pleased!

Man, that is some awesome work. I also have this one on the shelf, planning to start it next. (I'm just starting on the Tamiya Toyota Tom's 84C right now). Thanks for posting the pictures, they will help me. I hope you post more.

thanks for all comments

Missed the last update :doh: Decals look great, are you going to sand out the bit of orange peel in the paint?

sure~
I just get a couple of very thin clear coats on it
so i will flood the body again later adn then polish it.
(but not before the exam right now...>.<)

Nice work.

just noticed by a local modeler that the blue should be matching the minolta logo...>.<

there is no way turning back now.....
just to note to anyone who is do this kit~
