Re: Audi R8 Ultra (Studio 27)
Thank you for your nice words!
Before preparing the body, I corrected some problems with the headlight buckets and rear air fins. After doing a test fit, there are very large gaps between the headlight buckets and the body. I had to fill the gaps with Tamiya´s light curing putty (I just love that stuff, you can fill and sand in just a few minutes): I separated Studio27´s rear fins to obtain a more realistic detail: I used Scale Production´s Audi R8 GT3 rear window instead of the included window (much better detail). I checked the window fit at this moment: Now, on to the body! Studio27 did a great job with the body. The detail and proportions look good. I only needed to work a little on the panel lines and sprayed Tamiya´s gray primer as a guide coat: I corrected some minor imperfections, but in general, the body is very clean and very easy to work with: I sprayed the body with Tamiya´s white primer. Next time I will show you the body in color! Thanks for watching! |

Re: Audi R8 Ultra (Studio 27)
Nice progress.
Glad to read, you're happy with the body! My experience with S27 kits is rather different... |

Re: Audi R8 Ultra (Studio 27)
Finally! After changing jobs and moving to a new town, I finally had time to finish my Audi! I hope you are still out there
After some tests I decided to use Tamiya´s Italian Red for the body: The body decals were more than tricky to apply, and I needed to carefully mask the body using bare metal foil, liquid masking solution and Silly Putty to obtain the closest fit for the decals: After painting the body I started applying the final details on the model. First, I placed carbon fiber to the area where the doors are supposed to be: Then, I prepared all the windows: Time to place all body details in place: Then, time to finally place the body on the chassis: To glue the rear wing supports in the right place I prepared a jig with styrene: So, that´s it! The kit needed a lot of work, but I think it turned out very good at the end. Thank´s for watching!! |

Re: Audi R8 Ultra (Studio 27)
Looking good!
First one i've seen build. Being a Studio27 kit, it's certainly not an easy one to build nicely. You did it! |
