1/20 Shadow DN9B - ACE - "lioncar"

Post by js1115 »

Hi guys !

It's time to start this kit and create the WIP topic !!!!!!
Conception of the kit is quite ..... unusual !!!! Last years, my major question was: "how can you glue together parts which never get into contact ?" So, you understand I was a bit sceptical regarding the issue.
Few weeks ago, I had the solution: transform the original parts to get a more conventional kit ! First steps will be devoted to basic modifications.

I created, from plastic sheets, an undertray. I also add some resin to the body, it will be useful to screw the undertray to the body.

I removed a lot a resin inside the cockpit by sanding.

Thanks for looking :D and sorry for my poor english.... :oops:

Work goes on with the side pannels. They are made from aluminium and their shape is supposed to match perfectly ((I hope) the decals! I removed some resin to give place to the skirts.

It should look like this at the end.

I realised That there was something wrong .... Two left side skirts!!!

Smal work on the engine cover: I opened tha nacas and used again my favorite aluminium foil !

Hi Jean-Paul,
Good to see you taking on this difficult kit. I completed one some time ago and as you are finding a lot of scratch work is required. Be very careful of the decals, the are thick and do not conform easy. I found Daco Strong and a the use of a hair dryer was the way to go.
Atb,AlexP.
