Damn! A shame that I can't find one near ! This model is discontinued a long time ago ! Oh well, it'll teach me to quit modeling and to make a come back aftre so many years !!
BTW... very impressive car... and model !

Finished the placement of all the decals on the body.

Excellent decal quality and no difficult surface to applied them so everything is nice and clean.
The body is ready to receive the clear coats. Meanwhile I will start the two finals steps, the interiors and the engine.

Looks great so far Nuno. How are the white decals over the orange, any bleed through?

Since the white in this model correspond to the Jagermeister letters it was practically impossible for me to make a mask in order to create a lighter surface to apply the decal.
I examined the white decals applied in the Mazda 787b, also painted with TS-12, and they looked good.
So I applied then directly over the paint and they look just fine.

check this just completed 124th tamiya

Great progress Gainsbourg .

[RallyRaider]

Coming along well Nuno, nice bright paint and decals!
I suppose Tamiya white decals over orange aren't as bad as over red.

Your Alfa looks good too thespurs50. It deserves it's own thread. And welcome to AF

The Jägermeister scheme is such a classic. Would be nice to build a collection of Jägermeister sponsored cars.

Anyway, really nice!

look at this



@topic: that alfa looks very good, can't wait to see more progress.

After almost two months on hold is time to continue the construction of this one.

I have completed the construction of the engine as well as the suspensions.
It was a base build and I just applied some washes to improve the global appearance of the engine. I think the result looks quite good. Now is time to start working on the interiors. New updates to come.

[Guido]

Good to see that you are working again on this model. Washing on the engine is looking good!

[Gainsbourg]

I’m really in the mood for modelling so this is coming real fast.

Completed today the tyres as well as the interior and now I just have to worry myself with the windows, rear lights and some other small details.
Will post soon a final picture to conclude this progress thread.

That's a really nice car Gainsbourg.

Is that carbon fiber on the dash and the ... ehhh engine hat or whatever they call it?

[Gainsbourg]

Et voilá, another finished project.

Now is time to finish the Sauber-Mercedes C9 (not much to do also, tires and engine cover) and start three brand new projects that are already in study. I will not say any name but it will be two classic Rally Cars and one F1 this time.
Thanks to all of you who followed this progress thread.

No, no carbon fibre, just three coats of good old Gun Metal

[Guido]

Excellent job Nuno! The CF (gunmetal) looks really good in the pictures btw.

Curious to know what will be next

I've thought about doing this to simulate CF. Well it's obviously working well.

Terrific job!
