Hi all,
thanks a lot for your time, your kind words and especially your constructive comments!
I must admit that these chains took me quite some hours to think about while building the rear……due to the lack of good and proper reference pictures I decided to do it without them. BUT by now and with your kind help and pictural support I will complement them. Also the rear “sun-blind “ area will be redone with coloring to improve the bad decals which were way to small and ugly and as I mentioned before.
The color of the interior and seats………believe it or not, I had the seats in a kind of medium grey and the bulkhead in a flat / dirty white BUT the look (IN SCALE!!) was that ugly that I decided to give it a neutral anthracit tone. I’m fine with it, the decision was final when gluing the coachwork to the chassis.
About the stand. Mhhhh……, on one hand, it is the quality of the kit (although the suspension IS WORKABLE!) the car “won’t come down” more. I help myself with the following explanation: When the car is “in heavy use” and the suspension is working and has temperature, the car sinks down a bit and lowers. Once when movement and shocks are over the suspension relaxes and the car comes up a bit more. Look at these massive rear tires. Don’t they need space and room for compression?
I know a lot of you are true fanatics and know a lot about rally cars, more than I do, no doubt. I appreciate your inputs and that even widens my horizon! I will go back to my shelf today……..once when done, I let you know.
Yours
Jochen
