Here are some of my WIP photos so far

This is the Tamiya Kit with the Studio 27 Tranksit to convert to the B spec car

Looking good! Love these 80's turbo cars.
Just one little thing though, back then suspension arms were made of steel, not carbon fiber. If you like the look of it, by all means! You did a very good job decaling them. If you are going for accuracy, plain semi gloss black would do the trick.

Either way, great job so far!

Thanks for the comment.

It has been pointed out about the suspension on another forum. Considering the time it took to do, I will be keeping the carbon and I think it looks OK just not particularly accurate.

Some more progress. The body, engine & chassis are connected. Radiators also attached

Looks great, and as i always say "i build for me" I would be happy to have this one on my shelf.

More progress

Exhausts/turbos fitted. These are half kit/ half white metal



Wheels fitted, some detailing still to do

[craigus]

Some more progress, engine and bodywork complete

[Shunter]

Looking good.....are you going to clear over the blue decals or is this already done?

[craigus]

The blue has been lacquered along with the rest of the bodywork. I dont think the photos show the shininess of the bodywork

[craigus]

Getting closer to finishing. Front and rear wings added, with are a combination of White metal, Photoetch and kit plastic

Very nice...
