Thanks Paul! It's taken a minute to get here though LOL

Yessir, 289. My favorite!

So, starting on the engine while things dry. I cut off the oil filter and filled the hile with 3mm syrene tube. The printed oil filter is more crisp These are the parts I made. The fuel pump is not included as a kit part.

It is a 289 sir! Just like my real one...that is in a million pieces and likely to stay that way LOL

Man, you are so good at this! That thing is awesome :tens:

I do indeed! Thank you :Drinks:

Thanks Paddy! That means a lot :) Chris, I have a feeling a Molotow chrome marker is going to be a closer personal friend when I am finished! I spent most of yesterday and a lot of today using blender to create files for the air cleaner (kit garbage), fuel pump (not included), oil filter...

Ski, come on man, I am hoping for rain (we DESPERATELY need it!)

Yep, wet sanding and give it another go. I actually had forgotten a step I wanted to do anyway which was to paint the whole outer part of the car chrome then paint the red over the top of it. So once I get the crome on it I should see any scratches that need additional work until that part is as...

Turns out the body was nowhere ready to paint! Sanding marks everywhere.

So, we were on vacation for about 10 days and I have been out of touch. I am back at the model desk and am working on the rear seat for the fastback. The kit has a static back seat that does not move. Following along with A4garage I thought I would give it a try to see if I can make the seat...

Get a water trap and add it to the bottom of the airbrush. It makes an excellent grip.

So that's why! LOL I really wanted to be there. Mom wasn't having it this morning. It happens from time to time now.

Got some clean-up on the vents, but overall I am happy with them. I have a little design flaw to fix. This is Tamiya polyester putty. (When this tube is gone I will replace it with Bondo.) And finally in my random order of building I am performing a little surgery and will replace with mesh...

Once again, just brilliant. I feel like the tones are closer to what I think of as natives. Out of a "how did he do that" curiosity, did you use transparent glazes or a more dry approach? I get the sense you used dry since you mentioned not working too wet. I like to work wet, and use glazes...

You know I am going to get out the soldering iron...right? Siiiigghhhhh

Well, IDK. The fins are better, but the vent ribs are not. I tried four different ways to make them and none of them are good. I shouldn't have been afraid to try the soldering iron I guess. It is still better than the kit parts though...I think I decided to zig zag the strips, first in metal...

Maybe this

Still makes me think of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers when I see her though.
