Almost there!
Here (finally!) is the engine and chassis,
completed.
The rear dampers, exhaust tips, and other assorted odds and ends are mounted.
Ready for wheels.
I liked the stock kit wheels well enough, but I certainly wasn't going to leave them chromed. They were stripped in simple green, and painted in MM Metalizer steel, to give it the brushed alloy look Ferrari does it's stock wheels in. To do the bolts, each was carefully painted in MM Acryl gloss black, and then brush panted with Alclad chrome. There's just enough contrast to show off the chromed bolt heads.
Ready for the body now!
The reflective tape I used was in fact Scotchbrite, not 3M- but I will get some pics of it in the next batch of pics.
More
soon.
