| 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.

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 ? |

| 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!) |

| 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 . |
