Hello,
The road to completion of my WIP, seems to come in an end…
So you can take some update‘s of my 84‘s Testarossa.

I update the engine’s firewall, and I add some radiator mesh…







I add air valves to the wheel from burnt plastic (not very accurate but not bad at all).




The engine, the firewall, the suspemsion, the brakes and the wheels attached to the chassis.










I make two umbels (sun protector visor), from evergreen, cover with gauze and painted with interiors color.







Also I make some updates in the engine cover with evergreen and mesh…
















The finishing stroke to interior is the packages seat belt (attached behind the seats).







Also I add the safety door pins (burnt plastic too). You can see it, in the final photo beside the drivers window.

At the same time I add some nuts to the body (two the doors and fuel lock), to the base of windshield wiper. Also I add mesh to the front grilles.









I have some difficulties to attach the body to the chassis, but finally the procedure come to a happy end.




Finally only some details remaining until the finish, such the pinifarina and testarossa plates from metal parts, the cavallino rampate, and the traffic signs.










This is the last update before the finish photos publication. You can wait for some complex photo of the three (or more?) cars. Stay tuned until the end.

Thanks to everyone who followed this WIP!
Thanks for your comments and your advises too…
Happy Modeling…

A little conclusion...
In this thread (my first wip), I try many new things and technics.
I don 't know if it is an interesting building diary, but I try. I want to know the goods and the bad things.
Also I l'll try to improve my skills for the upcoming model buildings.
Thanks again for your comments and your advises.
