IGT8 build #1

The kit comes with a handy bag, and parts are grouped in bag with a QR code for easy access to instruction video for each steps. The metal parts are beautifully machined too.


Started with front and rear differentials as usual, using the 500k and 50k oil come with the kit

The front gear box - alloy parts are nicely machined and fit perfectly, it feels very solid !

RG RX-78-2 #11

Progress is getting slow last month. 

Backpack is built, this time Gaia German grey for the outer cover, and Gaia star bright gold for the and Tamiya silver spray can for the exhaust ports. 

Outcome of the Tamiya spray can for silver is sub optimal as the particle seems to be big and looks rough. Since I have the spray can left, have to use it and finish it. Comparing to the finishing of airbrushed star bright gold, it tells me the investment on compressor and airbrushes worth it very much. 



 

1/27 Ferrari body shell for GLA 2.1

 Beautifully finish by the factory. 

Not sure if I am really using it on the GLA chassis and run it :)

For time being, it is part of my model display corner.




Latest modified 1/10 engines

Fresh from Italy, modified by Collari : OS 1202, 1204 and the DBEngine XRD.

The heatsink of 1204 is much bigger than the one on 1202. 





Sanding boards

 Wanted to make some for use for long time and finally done.

#400 and #600 double side tapped onto a thin (~3mm) and medium thickness (8mm-1cm) plates / blocks. 

Tested on RG RX-78-2 and it works great :)
