Silicon products under your paint? I don't know how this is called in English but in Italian it's Scrimatura.

Thanks Steve, you have a PM!

@Craggyisland, do you have a link to his page or an email address?

I’ve tried to Google him, but cannot find anything..

Small update to the project progress.
The printer is currently running 24/7.
And the many small parts are almost all printed.
Then it's time to continue with the major parts...

The PE parts have now been finally ordered. The decals will follow shortly. But here, too, everything is finally finished.

I've already started packing screws and other small parts in bags.

The instructions have been holding me up a bit lately.
I didn't think something like this could take so much time.
The last guide consisted more or less of self-made pictures.
The current one was created with the 3D model and has far more information.

But I am happy how it progresses day by day.

There's an eBay seller in Austria who sells resin wheels that fit Tamiya Lotus 72 Firestones, suitable for a 1972 312B-2. They're home cast, so a bit rough, but better they work (I've used his other pieces with success. Trades under the name st.irish.

Just bought a Protar 312B2 with the sprues still in plastic for a decent price. Very happy with it because it’s the last plastic kit that I didn’t had

As mentioned before on this forum, the wheels and tires are way too big. I know Icon and Mac made a replacement set for the 312B but I don’t think they are available anymore..

Does anyone has some tips on how to get the correct tire and wheel size? Maybe from a Lotus 72D kit? Or are there other aftermarket 3D options that I don’t know?

Hope someone can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Absolutely a beautiful build of one of my favorite kits. I was not familiar with this particular car, but I love the scheme. Can you tell me the source of the decals you used? So far I haven’t had any luck finding them.

Paul ErlendsonHappy you like it, Paul!!
The decals were made by a Spanish provider KitCar43, where you can find other Spanish decals!

Well, it is a very good looking Stratos. I like the green colour. It is not a very common color for cars. All your effects in adding details to the kit pay off. They make the car look much better.

I don't know what green color you use. If it is a gloss paint, you can think about polishing the color coat to a good degree before putting the clear coat on. It will be much easier to fix a polish through with the base color coat.

Looking forward to see your next model.Thanks CK!! The green color is from Gravity-colors and the final finish is more or less, semi matte. The mistake I made was to sand more than it needed....and this is something to enhance in the future models!!

Next model.....Porsche 911 SC Rothmans with the hood and the doors opened!!
