Phil, why post photos of real car?

IT'S GREAT! How you made switches?

Thanks guys. The switches are made using the regular trick of drilling a hole and gluing in stretched styrene.

The lower panel under the dash looks superb! Did you use P/E rings around the switch bases?

Thanks again guys. No, no PE. After drilling the holes I used a toothpick to place a ring of silver paint over and around the hole. A couple of applications to build up some thickness and you're done.

With the heat staining of the exhaust and drybrushing of the drive train the bottom of the car looked too stark white and out of place. So, I grabbed some matt grey and brown, arced up the compressor and had a go at airbrushing some dirt and grime along the lines of the chassis. Now the plan will be to have the bottom of the car weathered while the top remains pristine!

1st rate work, the dash and undercarrage are exceptionally nice. The body/decals turned out very nice.

A further pic of the mocked up underside. Still need to do some more weathering and add a few things like the front anti-roll bar. Also need to tweak the steering rod, 'cause after raising the ride height the front wheels don't run parallel.



A check of the ride height. Wheels and tyres will be dirtied a little bit as well, the rest left clean as if the car has just been washed before heading to the podium
