Hi All, My first new model of 2021. I have had this one for a very long time and it's been daring me to start it for a long time. I think that this is the original boxing from the late nineties (I think) I have been hesitating to start this because I wanted to modify the wheels the same way a I did with the BMW Alpina B26 that I completed some time back. The thought of fabricating all the plastic rings to simulate the disks and trying to create convincing callipers was putting me off. However, I was left with a number of spare bits from the completion of the GTR Nismo. These parts included the disk brakes for the 'normal' GTR. I decided that I would be able to adapt those brakes for this project. More on that later. So, here is the obligatory box picture: I started by temporarily assembling one wheel, using PVA glue so that I could use that as my 'template' for fitting the modified wheels. The wheel on the left is as Revell would have you build it. The one on the right has been modded by cutting out the disc by drilling a set of small holes around the periphery of the disc and finishing it off with a Stanley knife. Once the rim was smoothed off, but with a bit of rim left, I cemented the two halves together. I assembled one front disc and one back disc from the kit and cleaned up the Tamiya discs, as can be seen in the picture above. I then used a tool in my Dremel to smooth the interior of the wheel thus: Not the best finish, but wont be visible when on the car. In order to get the wheel offsets correct, I had to cement in a 30 thou disc of styrene to the inside of the wheel. Finally for each wheel, I drilled out the centre of the wheel and cemented in a plastic pin, as the Tamiya brakes trap a poly-cap, I inserted a measured length of styrene rod and cemented it in place. The rod was a bit small in diameter (1/16th inch), so I wrapped some 5 thou styrene sheet around the rod melting it on to the rod with very thin cement until the diameter was sufficient for a snug fit in the poly-cap. I left the wheels to set completely so that the pin had a strong bond to the wheel. I had to modify the Tamiya discs to fit the Revell Axles. This required me to create a small disc with a square hole in the centre. This was 'fettled' until the disc fitted the stub on the axle. This disc was then cemented to the back of the Tamiya disc, thus; These square hols were aligned so that the callipers would align correctly when fitted to the axles. Here are the brakes, axles and suspension having been modified to use the Tamiya brakes: Just to the right and above the fourth wheel is the old solid disc that I cut out from one of the wheels. Here are some more parts prepared, ready for priming: I primed all the parts with Zero Paints light grey primer, which took a while to do: Once the primer was cured, I sprayed all the parts that I was going to paint aluminium or black with Zero Paints Semi-gloss black, this; My plan is to paint the seats a satin black to simulate leather, so I painted them in the ZP semi-gloss black. I wasn't happy with the finish on the seats, as it was too glossy for me, so I stripped them again for re-priming. I then cleaned up the body parts and primed them: I re-primed the seats, ready for a satin black finish. I also primed the floor pan: That's all for now. Thanks for looking in. Any comments are welcome. Cheers, Alan.
