Thank you, buddy. Can you explain why so?

You right.
Thanks to everyone for interest and comments.

It's just that future is very thin. You will have to spray alot of thin coats. Future runs easily.

Hi, dear friends.
Here are prepearing for working lights:


Here are the front lid hinges:

Gas lift units for hood:

Fire extingusher:

The Dash with Future on the decal:



Side turn signals cast from clear resin with clear arange pait :

By the way - which one is better: on the left or on the right?

[Some_Kid]

I think the ones on the right will accent the body paint better.

Cool man! Super nice job, the car looks like it's real! Iwas just wondering where you got the fire extingusher, it looks very cool!

Manometr is made of a piece of aluminium tube plus punched styrene, the handle is bended of tin. I also designed and printed the decal.
Thank you for coments.

the dashboard are nicely detailed, great progress so far

The body after several coats of 'Future" became a little darker more:


Now I put it aside for couple weeks. Then I will sand and polish it down.

Very nice work you're showing here.
Great idea with the covers for the front wheel wells.

I'm building this same kit at the moment (though as a GT racer) and was wondering what to do with the wheel wells. You found a very elegant and effective solution, which I'm glad to corporate into my build.

Hello everyone:
Here I decide to cover engine compartment with a foil out of cigarette box:
I also closed Tamiya's side wall "windows" using sheet styrene plus BMF:

Fuel lines:

Improved door stereo grilles, using dropper system filter plus contactor (marked with red):


Flock:

... and some small parts:

Sit belts are made of cigarette foil and etched hardware from "Model Car Garage":


Scrachbuilt sleeves made of cooper wire (right) and Evergreen rod (left). Clamps are strips of Cola can:

Feel free to ask questions.
