Hi Everyone
This is my latest project that I just couldn't resist starting on.
Managed to pick up a Murc Roadster kit that had been half started a few months ago & then brought the Hobby Design transact, with a little bit of research I decided to build the Versace version.
There is limited & vague information available about this edition, 20 were made, mostly Coupes. Some websites say there were only 2 roadsters produced, 1 in white & 1 in blue (that had since had the versace bits removed)
But a quick search of youtube proves there are more.
Anyway on to the pics
The Car
The Transkit
Amazing detail, the photoetched parts are amazing.
The resin in clean & smooth, almost no bubbles.
The incredible wheels
Most of the other bits
Hobby design supplies you with 3x carbon fibre engine cover things
The photos Ive found show different ones in different cars so I picked the one I liked the most, the bottom one
The Photo etch
These are the pieces for the brakes, nuts & the bolts that hold the hat together, pretty amazing detail, should built up nicely
This is the clear engine cover panels of glass, very thin. I wont be using these but thought I should show you.
The body as I got it, the previous owner had primed it without removing the mold lines. It was going to be candy green
I do love these wheels, as a bonus the roadster kit came with the original Murc wheels in shinney chrome too!!
This is the engine cover, I will be modifying this to have a glass panel in the middle
Oh wait, it doesn't fit.... By ALOT!!!! rear bumper has stunk 4mm!!!
Massive thankyou to Hobbyeasy for sending me replacement parts (twice)
So a big warning to anyone buying this transact, make sure you test it against a plastic kit straight away & don't store it for too long!
Thats all for now, I have started cleaning & sanding all the resin parts & should have some pics for you soon
