Dome Zero RL / Le Mans '79

Hi all,

this is my Dome Zero RL #6, he drove in 24h race of Le Mans 1979.
The car did the race not finished, after 5 or 6 hours it had a technical defect - therefore I have it not strongly weathered.



The kit is from Fujimi and had some shortcomings. I changed some things, so I added the orange indicators and the rainlight, built a new blue light on the roof, added a front shield (the transparent part) and towing eye.
I had to scratch build the holders for rearview mirror, rebuilt the driver seat, added the round openings for the ignition cut-off (over the fuel caps) and built a ignition cut-off switch in this.
Then I rebuilt the rearlights, and added bonnet pins, seat belts and make the frontlight covers.





















I had begun to build a few years ago. I used the first time, clear lacquer Gunze 'Mr. Super Clear'. Initially saw the still very good, but after a while formed cracks. I tried to fill them with paint and sanding down.
But it did no good, they kept coming to the fore. Then the kit disappeared for a long time in the box. After a few years I have him then (rather listless) gradually completed.

Sorry for my english.

Jens
