Tamiya Alfa GTA and Aoshima Murcielago SV

[mattbacon]

Thanks, chaps. Life has got a bit in the way of bench time lately, but I'm still plodding on. Focusing mainly on the Alfa at the moment, so there's nothing interesting to photograph on the Murcielago, but it is bobbling along in the background. Anyway...




A couple of sessions got the BMF on the side windows done, and the windows in. The kit's really well engineered -- enough so that the layer of paint and BMF on the side window "bars" makes the fit a little "tight"... I've fettled somewhat, but there may need to be another session.



Last chance for a good look inside before the rear window and windscreen get in the way!





And now the windows are on. Just the final bits of detailing to do now... mostly in "chrome"...

bestest,
M.

What has happened to the hood/bonnet, it appears to be sitting up at the back ? Did the engine get in the way ?

...it needs some adjusting, John ;-P It's not the engine. I think it's the corners -- it fits perfectly unpainted, but with the clear coat on both bonnet and body, it tends to "ping up" on occasion..

So a little percussive maintenance to ping it down then ...
