Hi, my first WIP in here. Some of you may remember my black and white Carrera GT I've posted last year. Since then I have worked on some new cars -I will post in completed later.
Anyway - the works are already preety advanced because I have started the kit some time ago.
I'm using the carbon template set from SMS, as well as SMS and S27 photoetched sets (Hiroboy will now know where his stuff is used in Poland - we have some small grupbuild of CGT). Also I'm using Crazy Modeller mesh for the rear cover - both S27 and SMS are inexact, CM photoetched nuts and bolts, Como seat belts and Acustion tire valves. And it's going to be black - Gunze 157 Super Black.
The engine was detailed with some wires and solder. I'm trying to do the exhaust manifold (interceptor, collector) from 2mm solder - Tamiya didn't do it properly. When I will finish the manifold i post some pics. Friend is doing that form 2mm alu rod - his job is much better.
I've also added some wires to the brak calippers. Added some screws and detailed a little bit:
And finally painted them with TS Chrome Yellow and applied decals:
Because the SMS ans S27 sets are complementary, I've used parts from both of them to detail breake discs, and drilled some holes:
The rear cover with S27 mesh which is now chnged for the CM hexagonal mesh. Anyway this mesh looks much more better than Tamiya decal.
I have reworked the rear shocks to add more realism - that still needs a lot of work, but I'm on the good way:
I have added working shocks to the rear cover which I made with 0,9 and 0,5mm needle.
The frame is almost completed with the CF:
It was hard to use one piece from SMS to cover the rear part of it, so I have used many smaller pieces to do that - this shows how many pieces I have used:
Now - the interior which I may say is rather finished - just needs some minor works. I have used the S27 pedals and foot rests, detailed the center console with some round p/e parts as buttons and added some bits and boobs here and there to get more realism. Of course flocking on the floor. And the most visible - I have used SMS Elaphant pattern over the interior parts painted in red. Seat belts will come later.
Sorry for my English - Klutz knows something about it.
