Hello,

It seems that the hosting image site that i used before disappeared, then I’m trying another one before to put back the missing images.

Here are some pictures before painting, I did an assembly, of course without to glue, then it was a bit difficult to put much part as I can and all of them to the right place

Wonderful update! So glad this is still moving forward. It's such a good looking car. I picked up the S27 decal sheet, so I will be having a go at this same project (1990, though) some day.

Hello,

I decided to clean the dust over this project, so here are some new pictures:

Compare the pictures of the real car and what I did, I thought that was better to modify all the rear area.

then I prepared the parts for painting.

I still have to do a lot of improvement with Zero Paint vanish

Image
Image

so, after a big polishing phase, I tart to be a bit happier with the result. then I notice that the shadow of the log GITANES was inverted :shock: :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll: :roll:
, no way to modify this now it will stay like that :evil:

Time to star to assembly the parts
