I don't know, I think that BIG red lip is to much. something about half the size would look better in my eyes but to each there own.

I agree, at least at the front wheel, but I don't have lathe so it would be impossible for me to try and do that.

Little more progress.

Interior



Front lights, big modifications



Rear lights, little less modified



Exhausts, unpainted, replaced tail pipes (on left one)



Meshes replaced with real iron fabric and all in place, still missing rear view mirrors, body details and a good wax treatment.
Finished pictures when I finish red one




Oh yes, if someone has rear diffuser (part number 72) I would be very grateful since I warped mine beyond repair.

Hi Sasa,

overall impression is very good, the dark wash on the red is IMO a little bit heavy, but inside the car it will look a little bit more contrasting when finished.

I agree with you, if the rings on the wheels would come in different sizes (depth), it would be great for people like you and me, who don´t possess a lathe

That's freakin' gorgeous!!! The head and tail lights look fantastic， simply not revell any more!!!! What did you do on those parts? Now I'm really HIGHLY expecting the finished stuff!!!!

Thanks Tang.
So front ones, Sakatsu lens in electrical connector (the ones Stevenski also uses, you can see bigger ones being used for tail pipes), then I dremeled that smaller part for blinker (to make it dent and not flat), BMF+clear orange and drilled lens part and inserted that electronic connector with lens inside.

Rear ones, I saw of part of the clear tree, polished it and flattened from one side and drilled from other (for reverse light), then filled that hole with chrome silver, outer part of that clear rod in clear orange and biggest ring in clear red, BMF at the back of everything and thats it.


By the way I resolved rear diffuser with a big help from my modeling friend Mario.
Thank you Mario

That is one of the fantastic color combo I have ever seen. Who would have thought the the red wheel lip looks so good with black! Nice build!

[sjelic]

Time for a little update, black one as said is almost done (few minor things missing) so here are few detail shots.








And the interior from the red one

Microscale clear fix on the instruments (still wet)


and fully cured


I have had a bit of the problem with KA metal transfers, they just wouldn't get of the carrier film. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you use multiple pieces of carbon fiber decal on the dash? I'm still trying to figure out to best cover this dash in CF.

[auw12]

Awes me!!!!! The 6th pic really took my breath away. And great interior on both!!!! Your CF works are crazy Sasa~~~
