LARGE SCALE MODEL BUILD THREAD. 1/12th, 1/8th scales

That is worse than my problem. They do not seem well organized.On the Lotus build I had some trouble with them not sending items but they usually responded quickly. I know this is my last build with them, I am to impatient waiting to get all the parts.

Thanks for the reply.

 

As far as I'm concerned, there's no such problem in France with the subscription managed by Altaya. I should receive this week pack 8 with stages 33-38

 

It looks like I have two stage 20 packets as well... I'm assuming its a miss print? I'm just waiting to collect more stages before moving on with the assembly. I have the engine done and then just stopped. I'll pick it up in a while...

 

I am waiting to collect more stages also, before I start. The 20’s I have are identical

 

Added upgrades to the Centauria 300P4 mechanicals; RB Motion machined nuts and bolts replacing suspension screws, scratch built tie rod ends to make them adjustable for toe-in; metal brake lines made from small diameter solder. Lots of potential on these large scale models to add more detailing but no cottage modelers out there are offering much of anything -in other scales there are plenty of them.......

Great job!
I also replaced quite a few screws and bolts, both front and rear.
For the front alignment issue, I decided to cut one of the tie rods, removing about 1.5 mm.
Your metal brake lines look very nice, but I'm not sure they're quite correct based on the Daytona picture

Thank you for posting the photo of the brake reservoirs; I searched but could not find any of that area. You have also done well to add suspension upgrades and such; well done!

 

Hello everyone.
After a long wait, I finally received some new parts for the P4. The job is quite simple, and mainly concerns the front section with the radiator and its various pipes, and the front right section of the chassis. Also the central chassis which will be positioned between the front section and the engine.

Hi Etienne:

The 330 looks really good. I have not started mine yet, still working on the GTO. I wanted to ask what are you using to highlight the various details...are you using an oil wash or something like Tamiya's panel liner?

Thanks, Joe

 

Wow… just wow!!!!

 

Which kit was this? MFH?

 

Looks like the DeAgostini/Agora 1/8th scale partworks model.

 

Hy,

Correct. It's the Agora' GTO 1/8 kit.

Thanks Joe !
I mainly use the Tamiya panel line (black), or personal mix with Tamiya thinner and various color, in different layers depending on the desired effect.
And of course, as with the GTO, various accessories to enhance the details. For example, the spark plug wires, brake and fuel lines have been replaced with smaller diameters than those offered by Altaya. And also several models of screws, nuts, bolts in resin to replace or hide those in the kit, which are really very numerous !

 

Latest progress with parts received this week. Many elements for the electrical functions that I don't use, so the assembly is very quick !
Mainly the side tanks and some chassis tubes on the left side of the car. I also connected the front brakes.
