Finally, body is done. Lots of small fiddly PE bits, now i'm getting ready to do the engine part... enjoy.

Hey, love the aircraft models! Some very subtle and realistic paintwork and detail happening there.

Lancia is looking spectacular as well, very clean and very beautiful!
One suggestion, the Pirelli logo in the rear mesh was painted on, not a decal. If your PE set includes a Pirelli template it would look much more authentic if you used that.

ohhhh......its so purrrdy...
Looking great so far.
I have to agree with rallyraider though.The decal looks a little weird over the mesh.
Great work otherwise.
Later, Troy.

Great looking job, the front lights are always problem to make, they usualy don't look realistic but yours are perfect. As for Pirelli logo just, if you don't have stencile just soak it with Microsol and rip it in place of holes, that should do the trick.
Great work overall.

I might just do that!
I'm currently scratchbuilding gas reservoirs in the engine compartment,
and I'll throw some wires in for a good measure.
will post some photos soon.

Anyone know why a dog's testicles reverses the meaning? ...Maybe you shouldn't answer that.

On the language issue, I think you'll find that the expression "dogs bollocks" has a positive meaning because they (the dogs bollocks) are always spotless and clean 'cos he's always licking them!! Actually very appropriate in the context of such a "clean" build!!

This is looking fantastic!
Perhaps the first entry in the 80's competition?

my god! That body looks awesome! Those planes are also looking good!!

Do they make planes in 1/100 scale??

[grega x]

Thanks!
They rarely make planes in 1/100 scale, but you can find them here and there. Normally the scale for aC is 1/48 and 1/72, you can get 1/32 and 1/24 birds (but they are huge, they don't fit in a vitrine). For passenger planes there are mostly 1/144.

The car i on hold for now. I made engine compartment, wired the engine, brake lines etc. I made reservoirs and some air tubes....
I will send some photos soon.

damn! I need a 1/100 scale for a game i play.

I've been pretty busy for the past couple of months, but managed to finish the engine room. There are some details missing here and there, but there you go. Reservoirs and mudguards are made from scratch, as well as the piping. Enjoy.

Outstanding!!! I want one.
