Trabant 601 revell

[jbdanadijon]

Hi everybody

I've been watching your threads for a long time before I had the guts to write my first WIP in English (I'm french so you can easily imagine how good is my english )

So this is my curent project , I hope to be in the right forum MOTORSPORT even if this car maybe not a frightening real sport machine but I just like this car and kit...and thought that would be a real pleasure to build it with a little improvements...



starting to check if everything is fitting correctly



And it fits perfectly for a revell kit... trunk and hood opening in this kit !

So I did not loose time and primered the body...





Safety wheel in the trunk.... just in case !



I wanted body color to be grey, same as primer color... so I did vernish tests directly on some spare parts painted in primer... looks OK for a Trabant color...

So I decided to go ahead and I have vernished the roof (that is also separate from the car body ).








I also made inside, all black mat color with lots of kilometers already made for this one !






Same process for frame, to give to this car an "after race" look



That's it for now... Hope you'll like it...

Yes, the underside looks exactly like my grandfathers Trabbi 20 years ago

Thank you for your comments.
For chassis weathering, I just paint it flat black, and used this :



My wife offered it to me and actually, application is really easy and the results is really really nice...

I vernish the rest of the body (except hood that I will try to improve, I added an air intake)



and started body weathering









Thanks for watching...

Doh...I managed to miss this build completely! Absolutely fantastic job you've done there and I love that 'macho' sporty exhaust pipe! LOL!
