Progress' 917k N°23 / Fujimi-Studio 27

[levincer]

Hi All,

I'm on the very beginning of this (long awaited for me) model.

I made some changes, i hope you'll like to follow the thread.








More progress soon.

Another 917K, awesome. Looking very fine so far
I am so looking forward to starting one of these myself, perhaps the blue Salzburg car, although I see S27 mucked up at least one of the decals
Should the title of this thread be "917K No 23/Fujimi-Studio 27" If so, let me know and I'll change it.

Done Vince.
I'll be interested to see how you go with the rest of the S27 PE. Did the brake disc faces fit with any trouble?

Nice progress on this one. I look forward to more.
The PE disks look sharp.

Those tires look great. I wish all kits came with tires that nice!

Hi Kurzheck, i didn't found the courage to do the masking job for the internal tub that must be in flat black, that's why

I prefer give my time to the S27 pe that will require a lot.

Thanks for viewing m8.

Great job so far. Can't wait to see more .

I LOVE the 917. Good work, keep it up!

Thats looking great so far. Maybe take the high gloss of the seats (they weren't a fibreglass item with no liner were they?). Otherwise unreal. I'll be following this to see it completed.

Hi Rob,

It's true about the seat, i wanted to have them flat red as said on the notice but i don't have this color on a spray can and with the pencil this color was very difficult to apply so i'll try over colors but they're too 'high gloss'.

If you know a good 'how to' to reproduce seat texture, i'll be pleased.

I'll be out in vacancie for a week but i take my n°23 with me to finish. I'll make lots of progress pics for the forum, tanx to all for participating to this thread.

Enjoy your holiday Vince,
Looking at the pics I wonder if the seats are ment to be just flat red rather than grey on the sides? At any rate, finish them off with a clear flat coat and they'll look fine.
