sharknose156 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 lovely work, very well done and sharp for this scale ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceithearn Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Absolutely loving the attention to detail. A great build, inspires me to return to the car kits in stash. Is the tub glued down on frame? Since it's not my time.....would it be possible to close the tops of the mufflers? Little tin foil or the thin aluminum from one of the prepared baking meals? Just hate the thought of the sound and exhaust fumes from the open mufflers given the efforts to date . As an engine guy, love what you have done/are doing. Keep going, a pleasure to watch! R.

injidup Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Thanks for the kind comments. The tub still isn't glued in place but I'll probably leave the mufflers as the tops can't be seen once the tub and body are on. Besides, it will be going so fast all the noise and fumes will be blown out of the back of the car. Hopefully! I really like this kit, despite my first Fujimi builds being very disappointing (McLaren F1 and Lotus Esprit). This is very nicely made but the more I work on this the more I see errors and omissions plus I see how different the original cars are from each other.

injidup Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Rear lights done today. Tamiya clear orange and red over clear lenses. Definitely not following the instructions! Edited October 10, 2016 by injidup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injidup Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) It's a while since I posted! Family sickness - all four of us had colds with one little 'un hospitalised with pneumonia means not much time for models. I got some decals from the Revell kit, kindly sent by @richellis, so I put some on today. I also got got some fuel hoses and intake funnel mesh for the Lotus 88 so I should crack on with that too. Except it's Spring here on the far side of the world and I just bought a new motorbike! Edited October 28, 2016 by injidup Grammar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanroon Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Happy riding Idjidup, on the illness front, the burn-offs gave me a shocking cough this year. Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injidup Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Not much progress on either of my WIPs lately as I've had a problem with my eyes caused by an allergic reaction to contact lens fluid, so find it hard to focus up close, plus I bought a new motorbike so have been running that in. Haven't done anything to the Lotus 88, but the fuel lines and intake funnel mesh has arrived. Did a bit more work on the interior and engine bay - seats, dash, roll bar fitted Got the ignition leads wired up to the coils, just need to paint them now. Test fit of the body to see how it looks... Edited November 20, 2016 by injidup 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpfiend Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Coming along very nicely now. regards Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Really great work. A beauty. However - is it the camera flash, but it looks like a big sink mark on the top of the dash cowl...? Keep it coming. Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injidup Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Argh! No, it's really there. I hadn't noticed! I'm happy to live with it as it's too much work to pull it all apart now, I suspect. Will have a look later but I don't think it's worth the effort to fix it. Scrap that. It's not a sink mark. It's how it came from the factory! Edited November 21, 2016 by injidup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 This is coming along really well with some fine detail painting. Sorry to hear about your ills and I hope you're out on the bike again soon. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injidup Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Luckily the eye problem didn't stop me riding, just sensitive to bright lights and the occasional blur in one eye. Almost back to normal now! Thanks for your concern Mark! I do like the new bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
