Hello,

some progress again.
Today I found some time to print the decals and applied them to the car.
Now I leave the car for some days, before applying the clear coat over it.

I'm thinking of de-chroming the wheels, as they are to shiny?

Regards,
Joka-1

That really is turning out fantastically. I like the wheels, i think the chrome suits the livery

This is becoming one great looking MK. Last time i saw this car it was still white. Great paintjob. And you made the decals yourself. Thats good to know. I`m gonna build the Duez-Belga-Metro in a little while and i still need some decals. So expect a call.

Great job so far, Joka-1.

Hello guys,

final progress,
the interior is modified to race condittion, the steering wheel is changed by a race steering wheel, the drivers seat has been changed with a sport seat, painted flat red, and a roll cage is installed.

I assembled the car, fitted the glasses and lights back again.

Hope you like it, it all started with a Fabbri model from 9 Euro.

I've taken some pictures from the model together with the standard model.

Thanks for watching.

Wow! That looks superb, I don't think the wheels are too shiny, they look like polished alloy to me! Can't beat the 1970's saloon racers with their flared wheel arches, very nice! Would you mind letting me know which Aoshima kit the wheels came from because they fit perfectly.

[joka-1]

Hello Viccario,

the wheels came from the Aoshima toyota Soarer, kit number:AO03698.
I think you can buy the wheels and rims only now?

Thanks for the interest.

My models most of the time start from little money also. (not €9,-)
But at the end, at the end....!

Hello,

I promised to post some pictures from the finished model together with the Scaleproduktion Escort I made some 10 years ago.

Enjoy.

Hello,

thanks for the comments.

My next build?
I'm working at the porsche 935 in Weisberg livery ( Georg Loos ),
started from the 1/24 Porsche 935 from Tamiya, where I modified the rear fenders.

I've posted some pics where you could see the model in the background.
( see picture below )
Thanks,
