All the liveries for this car are great. But I like this one the most. The car is awesome and itīs a shame that the decalsets are so hard to get nowadays.

And "yep" - an update already - quite uncommon for me.

I started on the bodywork opening the air ducts and modifiying the doors. I didnīt realize that this was open door build ... I wanted to keep it easy for me. Well, here we go....

Easy to see - now and for future updates - the green party are from the poor Tamiya kit. I opened the rear air ducts and put the Tamiya parts into it to make it more rear. See the difference:



As with the doors it took an hour of filing and trying. The drivers door is done now (except for the putty ).





The result was achieved by putting a plastic strip into the inner door as a spacer to make the door lean inwards at the top. The door will be thinned down on the bottom a little more to give it back its proper shape. But it seems to work.





Thatīs for the moment - so you see that I didnīt just post another projectplan. I went straight to work.
