Hello,

A dry fitting show me that the chassis and the body are fit well.
I sanded the hinge and now im in a thinking process of how i can put it inside?




This is my "favorit work" :mrgreen:
Drilling 0,5mm holes in the metalchassis.I used now about 15 drills and theres still no end!

The hinge on the hood.
Its not really that what i wanted,but its ok now. :?

Hi,

today was a color day. :mrgreen:



The rivets also become some color.



The springs are ready and the rest of the chassis also ready.



Only the Fiat engine still needs some work and details.



Kind regards

Here it goes........


If made the engine and took some weathering paint from Tamiya on it.




The chassis is now finished.I take Top Coat Semigloss and sprayed 3 layers on it.




The most difficult thing was the starting number on the hood.
Protar give some templates to spray the number on it.But those stickers are much to thick and they dont look good.
So i made it with a white Eddingpen.The rest was made with a stencil per hand.
It looks not so good that i wanted to look,but its ok for now.



The engine and the chassis are only lay on it,thats the reason it looks very buckled.


Kind Regards

They are much to big and dont look very well.



Just made a little scratch of heat shrink tube.

Little progress....




Glue the tank in it and put a cabel on.Meanwhile i think the cable is not thick enough,but later is it unvisible.So who cares?



The frontcooler without the cooler. :mrgreen:


All the stuff from above.



The enigine is complete and still waiting for her first start.
The next step will be the frontsuspension and the rims.
First i thought of using selfmade rims,but i think im not able to make rims who lokks good enough.
So i will use the Protar ones.The look not so cool,but good enough.


Kind Regards

Looking great, and enjoying reading your progress on this!

[Capri-Schorsch]

After Vettel lost the race,i start a little progress on the Fiat.



The cooler is now finished.I put real screws from www.knupfershop.de in it and i think they look really cool.
The frontsuspension is about 95% ready,theres only a few screws to put on.





Next step will be the rims.Theres a lot of sanding and than they must fit together,hopefully?

Bye!

Hello,

today was the wedding between engine and the chassis.

Was a lot of work to fit them together!
It took me a while and i had some parts who dont want to fit togehter.Just a lot of scratch part to made.

But finally here are the pics.







Next step will bethe metallparts from the body.I saw 4 screws where i dont know how to set a screwdriver on?
I think the only way is to glue them on the chassis.
Well,i see when i get more inspiration.

Kind Regards
Christian
