Frah2o Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 2/3 - I painted in black the absent rubbertrim of mudguard turn light - I applied with bare metal the reflector on bumber turn signals (photo with and without) - I modified the whole system of headlights fixing to correct various unwatchable errors: lights too far back, headlight fairing too advanced, headlight fairing is too protruding respect to the mudguard (it is actually retracted). I Thickened headlights on the central support, I sawed the supports of the fairings to reach a correct shape. - I added PE screws on front plate fixed on the right door trim, some light wheatering both on the panel and also on the lower side door - I black piant the missing detail on the TK extra bonnet light. - I made light wheatering on chassis , inside of the front fenders and inside of the trunk - I corrected other error on roof air intake: the vents were mistakenly painted in aluminum, on real car they are black plastic (I think the same of Fiat Ritmo). I Repainted in black and added connection for fuel vapour hose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frah2o Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 3/3 - I black painted the hood hinges that would otherwise be visible from the radiator grille - I definitively fitted the selfmade taillights redone.... which now are quite similar to delta lights and not the unwatchable headlights with the led holder - I definitively fitted the TK extra bonnet lights with the addition of metal clamps (as on 1: 1 true) to support the weight of the headlight itself - I little detail on the pinion of wiper arms. - A little detail on the emergency buttons at the base of the windshield - I definitively fitted roof air intake lid - I final detail with PE boltsthe headlight fairings and I add some rivets on the rear license plate - final check for the correct closing and alignment of the doors 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCH Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Frah2o - While your status in the forum is "New Member", I would suggest a change to "Obsessed" to "Very Obsessed" (with compliments). The detail in your work is outstanding and the volume of completed assemblies equally so. And I love the Martini livery. As always, fine fine work!

JCH Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Awesome! Really beautiful work! One comment, and not directly related to the model, as Codger has pointed out on other posts, a simple white (or mono-color) background enhances the star of the photo, the car. The car is spot on!

On most rallies I attend the cars are given a quick dry wash in service or on Wales Rally GB there is a designated wash off area where all cars are power washed before entering service . Gary .
