Starting a new project today. This will be built pretty much "box stock". Rare Feeling43 kit 28/100. I will walk through the entire build and then the model will be available from Mike so contact him for details.

The decals, resin and photo etch parts all laid out. This looks pretty nice so far.

Fitting the opening parts requires a test fit and then removal of some material to allow for paint thickness as seen in the hood photo. You can also see that the door has a problem that will require more attention.

OOPS!...



Too tight for paint...



Just right after removing some material...

Only a few decals will be used from this sheet. The color will be matched and painted on for the most part.

The body panels are now hinged and minor adjustments will be made prior to priming.

Interesting topic!

At the moment I have kit to be built from Arena/BBR of the 365 GTB/4 also with Thomson livery, but TDF race.

The decals for the LM version are produced at the moment.

Panels fit and the body is primed. Now the small parts will be located and holes drilled prior to paint and decal work.
