My own DelSol (1:24)

Hi, guys.

This is my first "completed" thread here at AF.
I just finished a 1:24 DelSol (Fujimi), built to be a sort-of-exact replica of my own 1:1 DelSol.

to make it as accurate as possible (within my own limitations ) here's a small list of modifications I had to do...
- fog lights (front: removed; rear: scratchbuilt)
- scratchbuilt wing
- dash and console adapted to left-steering-wheel
- interior door handles
- steering wheel (4 spokes to 3)
- wheels adapted to look more like the original ones
- front brakes: calipers moved
- rear brakes: disc -> drum
- custom exhaust tip

A short overview of the building process...

Light body mods



Scratchbuilding the wing...


Brakes and steering wheel transform, seats filling and cleaning up some mess...


Interior (changed console, door handles, added radio, mats, belts, etc...)


And now some finished photos...







I'd really like your opinion

Cheers,

Tiago

Thanks, eph2

cham2020,
the panel lines were done with gouache (water paints) and a #000 brush. Not perfect but acceptable, imho.
It was the first time I painted them, anyway

Oh wow, I really like this. Excellent body modifications, and really a very accurate replica. Well done! May I ask what color the body was painted?

Nice job on the replication! I really like the shot of your 1:1 in the background of the 1:24, really brings out the comparison. good job.

Re: My own DelSol (1:24)

Hi, all!

sileightsix,
I painted it with Tamiya's TS-26 Pure White.
No exaaaactly the same white as the real one, but hey... it's white, right?

Mean B16,
all the photos were taken this morning before going to work, I'm glad they were not that bad.
That one was taken with the model on the backseat of the bike

César,
obrigado! I'm looking forward to seeing your Delsol finished

Cheers,

Tiago

Very nice! Its evident that you put a lot of effort into this kit to replicate the real thing. I too hope to build a replica of my car...when I get one
