What are the black things under the car's rear end?

Outstanding model! Love the detail work you have put into it. Top job.

Absolutely awesome! Especially for a Revell kit. Seeing only the pics, I would have guessed Tamiya.
Fantastic!

I meant the kit quality in general. I don't know the specific kits of either Revell or Tamiya.

You could specify better, I did not understand.

Thanks to everyone for the comments, the Revell models are really inferior to the Tamiya, but I confess that I didn't have any big problems in this construction, I will now start the Ford Gt Tamiya, so I can have a better opinion.

The black things that I thought are exhaust pipes that almost touch the ground.

Another outstanding build Sandro, especially in that last shot!

This is the air deflectors that improve aerodynamics.

It’s a diffuser... It allows the air that has travelled under the car to expand as it exits. This creates a low pressure area that ‘sucks’ the rear end of the car down.

Beautiful build Sir, especially for a Revell kit!
What type of clear coat do you use?

Thanks friend, I use a ceramic varnish from a manufacturer here in Brazil, DRYCOLOR.
