Good progress. It is a rare kit.. where do you get that? It seems everything still in good shape, especially the decal

Thanks! I bought it many years ago on ebay.

Nice start. Do you get snow tires in the kit?

Nice start. Do you get snow tires in the kit?

Thanks!

No snow tires in this model. I saw the Renaissance snow tires released weeks ago, but I didn't like. I'll use the "normal" tires with homemade studs.

Great Start Denilson!

Very clean work on decals application!

I stay watching!

Gongrats!

that tyre looks great, nice touch

Ok that looks great I've been fooling around for a year or more trying to do something like that but haven;t come up with anything I liked. Is that wire or pins you used?

Thanks for your messages.

I used 0,4mm hard wire to simulate the pins.

Update!

Hi Denilson

Looks like you are going great. The only question I have is are you sure the dashpad is light grey. I believed it was either black or very dark grey.

Thanks! Actually, its medium grey. I'm following the kit instructions.

Excellent work so far.

beautiful work!

Nice build. What clearcoat did you use, it looks really good?

Thanks!

@Kaj45rpm: it's PPG PU clear coat

looks amazing, especially with the studded tires.

How did you attach the studs?

Paul

How did you do all of the black trim so perfectly without affecting the decals??

@Martini Man: I cut 0.6mm diameter hard wire in 3 mm. Then I push the 3mm stud into the tire.

@DanR67: Thanks for your comment. This one I used a 1mm black permanent marker pen. I didn't like the result if you compare with the Porsche Boxster I recently finished with the wash technique. But the black marker is much faster, I did all the panel lines in 10 minutes.
