RENAULT RE50 1/12... let's resume!

Post by JamesB »

Hi mates!
I started this great beauty, 6 years ago already!! I wanted to do it in sync with the big Cedric RE60B. And as if it was Tourmalet, I endured well the first times, but finally let go: lol: Also I remember that at the same time, I was having my real car repaired (engine trouble) that I'm done now, so we have to close the crecle.
You will then be able to see the manufacturing system, etc. I already have almost all the bodywork, the reds, well on the decals, and I´m going to go very simple when it comes to the mechanics.


OK, let's see.
This is where we are now...

Image
General view ;)

Image

Image
The lid detached, and put in place. You can see that it was made with the plastiline technique as a base, and after a layer of epoxy putty. You have to sand, and sand and sand!

Image
the pontoons detached, we can see that they are made with 2mm poly...

Image
The pontoons have their place, it misses joining with the piece on the side. I poured resin to fill. Very convenient.

Image

Image
The nose!

Image
I don't remember whether to correct this section...

Image

Image
A little view from inside the cockpit...

Image
The chassis, all by itself!

Image
and that's all now! :D I have to review the graphic references and the work done in 2016, there were details to correct, we'll see.
