My model-making mojo is back and I continued building on the Capri right away.

The door has found its fastening.
I built the cage from the resin sides together with aluminum pipes.
I worked the rims from the back so far that you can see through the grille.
The vehicle height has now been determined.

Now I go to the subtleties like closing small holes before I start installing the motor-gearbox dummy.

I hope that the updates will follow a little faster because I now have the decals for the white Würth, the black D&W and the Liqui Moly Capri here.
So I have to build the Capri 3 times.

best regards
Christian

Update:

The Capri has now been primed in white, the later base color.
Grind again and then comes the next layer which can hopefully remain the last.

Besides that, I started this vehicle.

First of all, the rough unevenness was removed with a 2k spatula and then spray spatula was applied.

Much remains to be done here.

Most of the decals have now been applied.
A few are still missing or need to be changed.
But come this week and then there will be clear varnish.

I still have to dab a little black by hand around the rear window and on the fenders. The decals were too small.
And if you look closely at the prototype photos, you will discover different stickers and designs on each vehicle. I have now decided on an original car from the Nürburgring race.

Touch up Pen? That looks flawless Christian!  What a fabulous replica you are producing, I'm tempted to get a smaller scale version of the Capri for my bench.

I can recommend the Tamiya 1/24 version although the kit is quite expensive nowadays if you can find one but builds up nicely. Here's one i built a while ago
