Re: WIP Aston Martin DBR-9 Model Factory Hiro
My kit has the same thing. It does though look like you can do a couple of things. You can sand down the front pegs that come from under the hood. The second is sand the rear bumper at a slightly higher angle where it meets the diffuser. Finally, one might just have to add a strip of styrene across the bottom edge. I think a combination of all of these might be the way to go. Overall it is a great kit and I am so glad I got one.

Re: WIP Aston Martin DBR-9 Model Factory Hiro
I forgot to answer......
I rescribed all panel lines with an 11 blade in an X-Acto... By the way, I just had a closer look at my car. On mine, if I tighten the screws, it is almost flush with the body. Really a small difference, so..... Cheers, Jamme |

If it fits with the screws tighted than I think it could be ok because I studied the kit + manual a bit more and saw that a PE Part will be attached to the body which probably eliminates the small "step" between body and chassis...  |

Re: WIP Aston Martin DBR-9 Model Factory Hiro
Looks like a REALLY nice kit. The Le Mans version looks killer.

Re: WIP Aston Martin DBR-9 Model Factory Hiro
Hello,
Here is a small Up. Body has been primed, painted in Aston Martin Middlesex green(Dupont Centari 600 Mat base, small particles) then it received a first coat of varnish: Picture in the shadow:  Picture taken in the morning sun (but not on the dock of the bay.....  ) A close UP....:  The body has then been lightly sanded, and then decalled....:   Next step will be: 2nd coat af varnish, sanding, 3rd coat of varnish, sanding, polishing...... Thank you for your critics. Greetings, Jamme Last edited by Jamme; 10-29-2006 at 02:07 PM. |

I love it Jamme when you ask for critic
 Work looks good as does the color. What clear did you use?

Re: WIP Aston Martin DBR-9 Model Factory Hiro
That thing is looking sharp! Keep up the good work. Too bad I'm too broke to afford one of these.
