Hello to you all.

During this time I´ve been working in the body of the car.

I´ve painted some flaws in the body and also the inside of it in black and glued the glass. The only thing missing in it are the side mirrors.

After it I´ve started to put the decals. This phase went well except for the Olivetti decal in the right side… Unfortunately it didn´t glued well and went of. I searched for it but didn´t found it until the morning, when I found it glued in my arm. I could recover almost all of it, except for the first 3 letters…

Here are some photos:

The right side Olivetti decal before it went of..

Now my focus will go to the chassis/engine again.

Best regards

Hello.

After make some research, and based on photos, I found some defects and lack of decals in the decals of Fujimi.
One example of it are the Ollivetti decals. They are both right siders. The left side one should start with the green O instead of strating with the white letters.

The other decal missing is the Hexcel in the gasoline deposit, or the yellow ones, so, after checking this, I´ve decide to purchase the tabu design decals, wich will also be useful on my USA West version.

These are the decals I´m speaking about in case some of you don´t know them: http://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.p ... 509#image1

Whille I´m waiting for them to come, I will continue in the chassis/cockpit/engine parts

Best regards
Tito
