Re: Orange 7 WIP
That is SMS # SMCF112. 1/12 scale Carbon Fiber by name/listing. It is some of the earlier offerings from SMS. I believe the same pattern and color is used in different scales denoted by the last two digits of the stock number. And thank you for the compliments... - Mark

Re: Orange 7 WIP
The rear suspension and fuel tank are installed. The halfshafts are decaled with SMS #1420 Plain Weave C/F.
  More machined goodies next... - Mark

Re: Orange 7 WIP
I machined a new fuel filler and gas cap from aluminum.
 After painting the cap satin black, a PE lock was mounted to it.  Here it is installed.

Re: Orange 7 WIP
Man, I can't believe your builds. They are so detailed, and soo clean. They look nothing like scale models! Keep it up!!!

Re: Orange 7 WIP
I'm running out of cool things to say Mark. I can't believe how fast you build and you do it so nicely.
Mike.

Re: Orange 7 WIP
Thanks again for the kind words.
The battery was sprayed satin/flat white…  The "body" was masked off and the top was shot black and the details were picked out by hand… Too bad it will be all but invisible when the car is done...  And it’s a roller! At least for now… I put the wheels on it to protect the bottom of the chassis from getting chipped or scratched during assembly. One extra precaution I'm taking due to the use of decals instead of paint for the majority of the body.

Re: Orange 7 WIP
The engine’s oil pump and distributor are installed. I added some boots to the wires with some left over tubing. Another part that will virtually disappear from sight once the car is done. Oh well, like that ever stopped me from detailing a part... The wires are from my stash instead of the kit supplied ones. Still need to finish the oil filter and do some plumbing…

Re: Orange 7 WIP
A Fram PH13 filter and some plumbing…
(You can also see the data plate on the distributor.)  Still plenty more work to go…

Re: Orange 7 WIP
The kit alternator…
 The new fan and underdrive pulley I machined for it, (this is the back side).  I sawed the fan off the kit part with a PE saw and replaced it with my aluminum assembly.

Re: Orange 7 WIP
Just can't get away from 7 on that rotary table, can you?
  I think I would have done 9. (I'm still trying to come up with a good way to cut an alternator fan in 1/24.) What size end mill did you use? It's a terrific improvement on the kit part.
