360 spider kit - but not quite the same
« on: March 31, 2009, 07:04:14 PM »
This is a build i've started based on the great builds i've seen here, and one i was inspired by at www.automotiveforums.com

Only difference to yours is it's 1/24 scale!















I'll keep you posted :D

I wonder if you could get an MRS kit and graft the interior into that one?

 ;D

Actually, that was my original idea! i was gonna build a replica 1/24 dna 3sixty! But unfortunatly the only kit of the MRS is by another model company. Maybe i'll try it when im a but better with modification and puttywork.

Anyway heres and update -  as posted at automotiveforums

Not much to update, just got rid of those rather big mould lines, and got most of the body panels prepared for painting. Also includes my oth`er model i came across looking for some files.

Side skirts have a nice fit. I might remove the wheel wells though.


Dear lord look at those lines!


Test fitting the engine 'hatch'. Nice curves!


Mirrors look gooood.

As do the light pods.

A few shots of this beautiful body





Here it is against the 911 GT1 i've almost finished. Paint on that isnt too bad.




Ambitious?



Gluing on the front ventswill make painting easier, at least i think so.



This is what i'm using to smoothe out those vents that have molding defects around their edges. It's a circular file.

Lookin' good.

And finally some more "pc background" shots.
