Re: DBR9 Slotcar....... not just another one!

FINISHED-FINITO-FERTIG-FINÍ-GOTOVO (?) !!!!!!!!!!almost


yes!! its a done deal (- almost. the rear diffusor, brake discs are still missing)

finished the DBR 9 , man it was a real challenge to build a slot racer with this kit and I am pretty happy with the way it turned out and the final results. The rear spoiler is made out of a clear plastic tomato pakaging, and the stands
are the original photo etch parts covered with the glue with which they are fixed to the car (Pattex extreme, it dries into clear rubber)
and the spoiler itself. I used Pattex extreme repair as it is pretty thick and dries transparent.
Hope it is strong enough!. The mirrors were mounted on 1mm springs so that the look is real
but they are also flexible and will not break as soon as you touch them.... all in all its a cool
car, it runs real smooth the body with cockpit weighs 53g and the chassis 135g. On the heavy side
but looks good! Wanted to add lights and brake discs but dont want to add more weight.... any tips?
