the real underbody looks like that anyway.

I had my box down today, shuffling the parts around and being excited. I can't wait to start mine, either. It's a rad kit, even with the diecast undertray. The body looks incredible. And the decals, well, what's even to say... crazy!

[Rickard_Olsson]

I put the fenders and the hood-things on...

yeah crappy chassis... i heard of the plating decals should be applied after clear coat,if not they'll dehisce.is that true?

[Lilfazzl]

crack

in the second pic, whats that huge white block under the black chasis?

[Rickard_Olsson]

auw12 - I have no idea about the plating decals.. Maybe I should watch out for that problem.. thanks for the warning PS. I´m thinking of buying the Arta NSX version when it comes out also

Lilfazzl - That´s the thing where the chassis is placed in the box.. I can take som pics of it for you if you want to see it..

Does anybody have any real ref. pics of it? like the interior etc.? Thanks

maybe you can find some ref-pics in this book.http://www.hlj.com/product/SAEDTEX0601 i asked someone who had worked with the plating decal before,they said yes you should apply them after clear coat and polished,if you do want to apply clear coat on the decals and rubdown the fall you should be very carefull and apply mist coat several times.

auw12 - what does dehisce mean? I didn´t get that part :$

A small Update

Started working on the brakes,chassis,wheels and body (I have to train on painting the windowtrims :roll: )









Since the brakes OOB don´t have gravings in it unless you buy the P/E set I made the gravings myself..

Front


Rear










That´s the update for this time..
BUT HEY.. My brother works at a tirechange place or what it´s called.. And look what visited them yesterday :!:











Look how wide the new rear tires are :shock:

Thanks ! I didn´t understand that word so I looked in a dictionary and it wasn´t there.. that´s why I asked.. So I have to get myself a can of clearcoat now huh? thanks for the tip though !

[auw12]

yeah i think you do need clearcoat whether there are plating decals or not.
