Re: Aston Martin DB4-1/25 Revell Monogram...a detailed story!

Today I have a quick update. After being working in the rear suspension components, now I’m moving to the front. Like in the rear, box stock suspension is OK but, I feel it allow space for something more.

I started gluing together the engine bay and cutting the attachment ends to the plastic sway bar with some brass tubing I did a new one.



Same method was done with the steering rack, rolling some thin solder around the tube to simulate the boot.



The shocks and spring plastic combo also suffer a transformation with some solder, plastic rod, aluminum tubing, and aluminum sheet. I didn’t put much attention on the exposed epoxy since it will be later covered by the brake disc and the wheels.



Everything was installed and this is how it looks:












After carved a bit of plastic rectangle bar, I did a chassis bar where I mounted the scratch built brakemaster cylinders.



I also did a tryout to see how they look.



Now I just need to shoot some paint to the parts and do final adjustments. Then, I will complete everything with wire and nuts in order to complete the plumbing.
