The main parts of the kit cut, sanded, primed and highlighted.
The vehicle is small in real life and so it is pretty small in scale 1:72. 😉

December 16, 2023
Main parts colored and assembled.

I chose an all aluminum steering wheel over a black one (both existed)

I've been too quick to glue the 'hood' and forgot the fenders. So I had to divide the part that comprised both fenders and attach them separately. Quite a flimsy matter.

My first tests with the pattern roller for a strech of cobblestone street. Some tiles for the pavement. Material: DasPronto modelling clay.

December 21, 2023
Ok. after adding all the bits and pieces I call this one done.
14
December 21, 2023
Molecular modelling with part size down to 0,5 mm.
15
December 21, 2023
Only the rear view mirror and the id-plate is scratched. Everything else is part of the kit
16
December 21, 2023
A few minor flaws, but bottomline I am happy with the result. The representation of the drive train chain with a clear part gives a very convincing result. A bit of sanding of the tires assures solid ground contact.

December 21, 2023
Very very light weathering with a few pigments. Just to show that it is used but very well kept.

December 21, 2023
For whatever reasons I like this vehicle. And Eduards kit is a gem.

December 21, 2023
And one for an idea of its size. The exhaust mufflers have been drilled open with a 0.3 mm drill.

December 21, 2023
Next will be modelling for the clamfisted again: painting a 1:72 figure 😉
21
December 23, 2023
I decided against all the figures in my first layout as they distract too much attention away from the vehicle.
This one remained to give a sense of scale.
22
December 23, 2023
Finished the figure in a nice modelling session with a friend. A bit shiny though. Will receive a coat of matt varnish. Then it should be done.

December 25, 2023
Base is ready. Final shots will follow.

As usual not perfect but bottomline I am quite happy with the result.

Welcome Alec. The clear parts are so incredibly tiny, they stretch my painting skills to the limit - and beyond I am afraid. 🙂

For those with a soft spot for this vehicle but would like it just a wee bit bigger: Art Scale Kit just released this vehicle in scale 1:35.
Although a short run kit, the sprues looked fine and well detailed to me.
