Well it's been a while a while between posts, and I missed the deadline, however I am nearing the finish line with this build. The main additions have been the replacement of the brakes and wheels. The wheels are 14inch rs watanabes from fujimi and the brakes were larger discs that I took from an Alfa Giulia. Unfortunately I forgot to take some pics of them, and there was a fair bit of stuffing around to make it all work. They are not yet attached and will be permanent when done.
The belt kit is 1/20 from perfect parts and really looks good. The buckles have so much detail. I initially had some simpler ones, but they didn't look the part and seeing as how the cockpit is exposed I went to the extra effort and cost and used the PP set.
I also had my first go at machining some parts on the lathe at uni. I didn't really know what I was doing, but they turned out ok I guess. The most obvious part is the fuel filler which has a little wash in it. Haven't decided if I will keep it yet.
I hope to have updates soon and get this baby finished soon, but I am pretty busy so will see how it goes. I was hoping to be the first finished at one point.
