...and one of the most lovely cars. I bought this kit many years ago, in 1999.

It was made some modifications on the front bumper...

A powerplant was painted and assembled OOB.

The most of all I like a coupe, and it was decided to copy a roof from this kit, what I hired from one of my friend.

Impressive work so far!

hell yes!!

great work man, keep it coming.

This will be worth watching! Is that CF material just pressed into the resin or did you use some vacuum process? I'd be interested to know if the strength and support is still high if it's just pressed in.

Pressing it in the resin should give the whole structure more rigidity (enough for a scale model), even if there is no special vacuum treatment involved. Even the resin alone is enough for that, but I guess he used the CF tissue because the part is very thin.

No, I didn't. There was only one lay of CF, and an epoxy resin applying by a paintbrush. The strenght is enough for this thin detail.

Who knows where is a fuel tank on this Revell's 850i?

My friend: you can check here where I posted a couple of pics of the one I already built. Your it's being beautifull.

what did you use to do that roof mold, and what did you used to cast it?

rollin80s · 07-10-2009, 06:21 PM

wow, great work. i just wish i knew what the heck was going on exactly when you made the roof.

Silicone rubber and a plaster for mold and epoxy gelcoat and resin for casting.
And now there is small update.
The roof is in the place now.

A choice of tyres. The rims will be other than these.

Are those Supra wheels? they look fantastic on that car! I love what you did for the fuel tank. The roof mod is outstanding as well. I can't wait to see what else you do with this car.

stratos75 · 07-27-2009, 12:18 AM

The fuel tank is ready to paint.
