Following. I liked to build this kit, but was a fast build with glued hood - used the engine for another build.
Looking forward for more 😃

Welcome on this road trip! Today I did some more prep work on some parts. Not much glueing to be done at this stage.

The engine is a nice piece and it is sad, that it is covered in the engine bay. That was my intention to not installed it .
Martin, try the fitting of the enginehood. As I've painted mine, it was a really tight fit - no chance to open it when closed.

Thanks Dominik. I'll have to think of something to open the hood. It would be a shame to ruin the nice fit

All parts that can be prepped, are. Now everything is back in the box as I didn't take my airbrush an stuff with me on vacation

Thanks Spanjaard. It is my regular method for cars.
1) Remove mould lines
2) Scribe panel lines
3) Sand the body with 600 grit
4) wash with a bit of dishwasher soap. Rinse well!
5) Airbrush primer. In this case 2k for the hot Zero paints
6) Wet sand the primer with 3000 grit.
7) Rinse again
8) Two thin layers of paint
9) One medium layer of paint
Next:
Decals where needed
Two thin layers of clear
One medium layer of clear

Glueing this car is a dream. Because it is a relatively simple kit, almost all parts can be glued from the backside. Most mounting pins are in a through hole.

Personally, I just love those wheels! I'd like something similar, for my 1:1 car!

This is a simple, well engineered kit. Most glue points can be done from the invisible side.
A few lessons:
- glue the grille to the nose, before glueing the nose to the rest of the car. Like the instructions tell you.
- Put the bonnet on, before glueing the dashboard in place. Like the instructions tell you.
- Make sure the dashboard is all the way to the front. Then the marriage of body and undercarriage at the rear is easier.
- the engine isn't really worth the work. It will be hidden in the end.
- The chrome part for the rear light can be cut in two. Less stress to get it just right

Great result. The color is eye-catching. Shame the engine is hidden from view. It's a bit like the Revell Mercedes SLS kit. I thought about not glueing the plastic engine cover on that one, but then it wouldn't stay in place. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Maybe a hidden magnet inside the engine and a thin piece of steel, glued to the inside of the engine cover, next time
