Making of Sauber-Mercedes C9 (*Progress pics*)
Time to share with you the first of my current four projects.
Its the beautiful 89 Sauber-Mercedes C9. I spent the last five days painting the body (usual 2 primer coats, 3 color coats with a day of rest between them) and Im really satisfied with the result since I end up with a good uniform tonality with this metallic color (TS-17 Gloss Aluminum). Now time to start the engine and suspensions. News to come. |

Is TS-17 considered as metallic and needs a clear cost before polish??

Hey Nuno!
That bodywork looks very good. Make sure that when you place the engine on the chassis, that it is lined-up correctly. That's the only thing I found a bet fiddly with this kit. Make sure you do the "63" car, because 62 and 61 had a different middle nose section Good luck. |

Gainsbroug,
Looks great already. I'm planning on starting that same kit. I was looking for an alternative to the TS17, but your looks so good I think I'll just do it the same. Huudo, I was wondering why the kit didn't match some of my reference pics. I thought the 61,62, and 63 were all the same. Thanks for the info. |

That freshly sprayed body looks great already Nuno. You obviously have a pretty slick spraying technique happening.
