In Progress A'pex D1 Project FD3S

Here's where I am at the moment - not going to be very involved just basically out of the box except for SAS seats. No problems with the decals (as yet) altho I'm approaching the CF hood with trepidation !.
Just playing around with wheel combinations at the moment - the front are the kit tyres with a lip - rears are Pegasus sleeves & I need to paint the gold on the wheels again -think I may add a bit of silver this time.

Sweet..

killer!

looking good Andy. The wheels lokok like they have varied in the shade of old from year to year on this car- the D-1 in Irwindale this year they were mostly silver, very little gold in them, but some pics from last year show them about the same shade that yours look now. Great job so far :)

When you say the kit tyres with a lip, does the lip come in the kit or no ?

Hell yeah!! I love the rims. The rear rim looks a little differently shaped..overall nice!! I love it.

The kit rims do have a bit of a lip but on the front one I've added a trim ring from a Aoshima 18" rim to make it a bit deeper dished - I think the real car runs on 18's but somehow the kit rims look a little small & the tyres have too high profile to me (then again perhaps I'm too used to looking at 19" rims)

tyres is CONFUSING

tires makes MUCH MORE sense

took me 5 minutes to figure out tyres is supposed to be tires

i like it. nice decals, and i luv the rims very much...

cant wait for the CF

Ahh gotta love it. Looks awesome with all those decals. The rims are nice too but i agree with mixing a little silver in there.

Great Andy i think we have ordered almost the same kits from HLJ !! So i wait how your kits go and what clues you can give me on the kits !!:evillol:

that looks so cool, i would like to build this kit some day

I like it so far, decals look like a royal pain! great work

Nice decal work, the build looks really good, cant wait till its done:)

Finished all the body decals - the hood has beaten me (it's a damn arkward shape) only had one sheet of c/f decal which ripped so ended up spraying it gloss black.

Still need to decide what to do about the wheels - the ones in the picture are the kit rims & tires with lips.
Hope to have it finished over the next few days.
Thanks for looking

I like the kit rims over the pegasus sleeved ones because the size seems more realistic. The sleeved rims from pegasus make it look alittle out of scale. I still think you did a great job whether the hood is carbonfibered or not the black looks cool enough.
