Bonjourno.

Dave (FORD RS MAD) basically wanted me to build a replica of his real car;


from his white 1:18 one;


Its a pretty easy one but told him i'd keep him updated so mayaswell make a thread.

So it arrives yesterday morning like above, by lunch time it was like this;


then the nitromors did its thing




sanded all the plastics down and glued them back onto the bare metal


then today, primed


It felt norty stripping a nice shiney new model but im making good progress and I reckon it'll be worth it

will update later tonight, just masking up the engine bay and floorpan for some flat black at the moment

floorpan and engine bay stripped;


primed, silver base and clear coat;


masked up and flat blacked bits;


back together;



managed to get the wheels off without breaking everything too so when i get the prodrive ones they should still roll & steer as standard
