[Lownslow]

WK you werent lying about the revell 360. i cleaned up a shit load of mold lines and flash. the F50 wheels seem to tuck under there illl have to cut the wheels bakings to compensate for the reverse offset of the F50s. the body is all good to go next is the aero kit which brings me to the question.

what did you use to heat the sheets of styrene?


and No its not going to be red

Here's the final pics for today. After cooking dinner, I got back to this thing and got the suspension mods done w/ the brake hubs modified to fit the aftremarket wheelset. The wheels in the front were narrowed to look right and the rear diffuser has been taped for a test fit.

I hate to say this, but I told you so!! The sheets were heated with a butane powered soldering iron w/ a hot tip. Heat gun will also work, but be careful because the styrene is very thin. Hairdryer would also work, but takes longer to heat up. Use that if you're inexperienced with shaping plastic. Don't get too carried away on your first try. Good luck dude.

I'm getting tired of working on this thing already! I wanna go do something else.

Well, if thats your attitude, no wonder your ITR took ages to get done...

Here's the settled ride height.



Here's the Tamiya Hamann next to my Revell 360. Puts it to shame doesn't it? The Tamiya version looks so sexy next to the Revell Spider. What do you all think? See the differences I pointed out in the Revell 360 thread?

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

The kit was finished a while ago, and you should be able to find it in a search

I always loved this build, so it was nice to view the thread again, even thou' it's over 12 months old

Antonio,

He means the second kit that Walter wanted to build for himself Although I'm pretty sure Walter didn't start it. However, I'm sure we all here want him to!
