Hi there,
It has been a long time since I started building the Ford Zakspeed Turbo Capri from scratch.
Just saw that it was the 01.09.2011.Wow.
Now I thought it was time for a version 2.0 of the Capri.
I would like to eradicate some mistakes and at the same time present the finished cast with more details.
Now I have a little more experience with silicone and know what works and what doesn't.
Since my last project of the Porsche 935 K3 still doesn't go on (lack of motivation) I liked the idea of a "new" Capri.
Here again the old Capri in pictures because the originals have disappeared thanks to Arcor.
Since I had no experience at the time, I have shown all openings closed.
But it is extremely annoying when you have to open everything later during construction.
So I casted a new body and started opening it.
Since the body has some inconsistencies in terms of windscreen, roof and other small places, I will do something better here.
The Minichamps Capri in 1/18 serves as a template for me.
The height of the windscreen in particular is too small for my construction.
In the meantime, I have changed that and I am in the process of creating a template for vacuum deep drawing.
The v.2 is now around 150g lighter than the old one and will be a little bit less because I want to thin out the wall thickness even more.
I am currently working on the roof where I want to make a larger curved surface instead of the rather flat roof of the first variant.
Tires are already adjusted in thought because my version was not the best.
But one after one.
regards Christian
