Fugimi 1/24 GT40 1967 build.

Post by Hawkmoon »

Hi all

Started on this kit the floor and cockpit have been prepped, undercoated and then top coated with Semi gloss black. The body shell has had the molding seams removed . One quirk of this kit is the adding of the rear wheel arch moldings and the spoiler molding along the inside edge. When the glue has cured more clean up around the arches will be needed.

Started to put the cockpit and lower chassis together the seat belts were made up and added to the seats before the seat assembly was glued in place along with various other parts.

The wheels and knock offs were striped of there chrome and sprayed with Vallejo Liquid gold then two of them were sprayed with Alclad hot metal red and the remaining two with hot metal blue. The real car had different knock off threads on either side of the car so they were colour coded to prevent them getting mixed up.

:banana: The body has been cleaned up the rear wheel arches added and filled where needed. Now the 1st coat of black primer has gone on. This will show up anything I missed and also anything that needs more work. :eeek: :banana:

:banana: :banana: The bodyshell was inspected and any clean up done then a coat of white undercoat went on and was left to dry. Once dry two coats of Zero metallic blue went on. Once dry the decals will go on. :banana: :banana:
