Happy new year everyone, a little more progress to show.
With the engine nearly finished I turned to the chassis...
The inner arches of the 1:1 car has vents on the front inner arch, to replicate this I first cut out a square whole in the from of each arch and then from plasticard built up some vents...
The cockpit needed the central transmission removing as this was only like this on the road car and not the Competizione model...
I then refilled this with more plasticard...
This was then ready for paint and CF decal...
I added the new small trans tunnel simply using a piece of sprue sanded flat, I also added the etched accelerator pedal and added a throttle cable. The bulkhead on the 1:1 has a removable centre section which is not depicted on the Tamiya moulding. I scored this into the plastic and then added etched fasteners.
Finally I built up the passenger seat mounting base from plasticard...
Lots more details to come for the cockpit area. Thanks as always for following
