Thank you guys, time for a little update (again low progress-big time consumption).
Roll cage is almost done, (it took me some 20 hours to make it, yes I am slow

), Resin parts (yellowish are from the kit and all the white ones are scratch)

It almost fits good (still need to work out few gaps to the body)

Scratch built that fuel intake (or something

) with Sakatsu thingis, some welding wire, sprue parts (plastic and PE) and Modeler's wire. All painted with bad Revell clear

And instaled it together with spare wheel straps and PE fasteners.

Sorry for bad pictures but Acdsee do very bad compresion.

WOW! Great work! Where do you get the stuff from which connects the wires to the "wired" objects? Any good source??

They are made by Sakatsu, I order them form www.scaleracecars.com and www.mediamixhobby.com.sg
Just watch out because there are many different shapes and few dimensions so take care.

Great work on the rollcage and fuel line (?). That is a very busy rollcage design Skoda are using. Does Reji provide the ratchet fastener on the spare wheel tiedown straps as PE or did you scratchbuild it?

Yes, fuel line ??? (it looks strange to me to), I am not sure about that part that comes out from blue fillter downwards because it could maybe be that this part goes in the fuel tank, but I could,'t find the right photo so i did it like this.
Reji realy did provided that tiedown on the PE parts (and it was not listed as part to use

but some triangle that is not correct according to references)

Interior almost done (battery box, seat belts to roll cage and some roll cage wireing are missing). Work on body continues while wheels received final light gray wash.

GvEman · #56 03-09-2005, 06:38 AM

It looks truly amazing!

DJPaul · #57 03-09-2005, 11:07 AM

Another masterpeace.

Simply amazing.

Nice. I do want that kit, but they are SOOOO expensive in the US.

I wonder if there is a Tamiya or Hasegawa kit you would have used for the chassis and suspension.

willimo · #59 03-09-2005, 06:25 PM

Looks grat so far! Thanks for overcoming the setback and sharing the fruits of your labor with us. This thing is looking awesome. Hard to beleive the multi color body is paint, and not decal.

mickbench · #60 03-09-2005, 06:51 PM

Looking at the first pic, and then the last I cannot believe this is what you now have. What a stunning bit of work. I too can't even think how you got that body to look so crisp and clean.

Well done.
