BBR 1/43 COUPE FIAT -English Ver- iP)


01/5/22

At first,I assembled these parts temporary with masking-tape to see the hight of the car.

Looks like nothing to adjust !

I made a small hole of under-tray again by filling a big hole with solder.

I wonder why the BBR's kit includes the SLICK TIRE!!

Filled small air bubbles of resin with polyester filler.

I have to shave out side of the window a little bit, so as not to see the body color from the window-rim.

About the body color ,I'm thinking yellow or red...

It seemed no problem with the Slick Tire.

I've opened holes of the wiper with 0.5 mm drill.

I sprayed the primer-surfacer on the body to check the scars.

Except for that,I haven't done nothing yet, just put the parts together.

Then I filled the small gap with polyester filler and sanded again and again.

I decided to pant the body yellow.

Base coler will control the body coler(especially if it's yellow), so spray the base-white-color cautiously.

Sprayed it twice , sharpen body again,spray it twice again .

You should done these steps very cautiously or you can't get beautiful body color.

Everything went smoothly ...no dust it...good...sprayed the body color...and finally...

Oh God, I did it! I did it !!!

I dropped my car on the floor!!! Oh,God...

I have done terrible mistake....

oh please...play back...review the time please...

Be careful everybody, don't follow me!


... I've done such a poor thing.
I dropped the drying body with a bottle.(I usually put the body on the top of a bottle when I make it)
It really divided up! A,B,C piller...all of them are snapped off.
well...what shall I do...I think I better watch Le Mans Race on TV and go to bed today.

needles to say,the following will be "Restoring diary"...

i You don't have to follow this section! j

Once I've thought about buying another new kit, but I didn't.

I put those divided body parts together with a super glue,and pour jelled super glue into openings.

Sharpened the joint with a 800 sand-paper.

I feel like a sheet metal painter!

Come back COUPE!!

Again,I sprayed the base-white-color thick.

The joints don't have the base as other parts , so put the base-white thicker with a small brush.

Leave this for three day to make it dry.

Can you see the joint ?


01/6/19

Because of the thick painting ,I sharpened the body again concentratede on the joints.

Make the edges sharpened so that they will be recovered.

Spray the base-white again.

My coupe recoverd like this, finally...

Can you see the joints? (no you can't!)

01/6/20

I hate japanese rainy season that we call "tsuyu"....

It rains almost all day....the humidity is 80% over...

After sanding body with#2000 paper, I sprayed yellow.

I usually use "Mr-colors" ,because it dries quickly and is easy to get !

I could spray in front of the fan smoothly,because I reduced humidity of my room .

go to next!
