At long last!!!
Got the curbside kit by Rennaisance, and with the help and advice of Michael Graber of Automobile Miniaturen and Etienne of Rennaisance I managed to get the body of this fine Racer together. There has been lots of criticism regarding this kit. Alll i can say is that i am highly impressed by Etiennes work, and even after seeing the Spark version, i went and bought 2 more Rennaisance kits. Here one has the chance to create, the >Spark car is nice, but a modeller wants to be involved in the building process......
Colour used- Aston Martin Racing Green Metallic, also usable is Middlessex Green Metallic (is a bit lighter) the Metallic paint is really hard to photograph.
Decals and Photo etch parts -(loads of 'em) are supplied in the not inexpensive kit.
Weight-the kit weighs in at about 300 gramms ..... my trusty old mate, Mr. dremel took care of buisiness and cut the
body weight down to a mere 30gramms before paint and decals.
Dashboard was also Dremelled out and now weighs 2 gramms
Interior is scratch built out of clear plastic sheet foam and aluminium tape because of the weight which should total 185gramms for the racer
Chassis -will be home made Brass carbon fiber and Plafit s24 parts
Motor -Plafit Bison,
Wheels -Sakatsu OZ style (painted light gun metal) they have a spoke too much but will allow me to install disc brakes and rotors , a task which is impossible using normal slotcar wheels.

FOLA
My interior is still not finished and is a real pain to build. The worse
thing is that loads of the stuff in it will be invisible!!
