The Zakspeed is done.Most of the body.

I looked at my original pictures for a while and at the end i am nit 100% sure that this version was running these days?
There are so much different version and evolution at the race car i want to build and not enough reference pictures.
So i decided to build it in my own way.
Now i try to find a matching zero paint color for the green,orange and blue on the car.

Very, very impressive. The nose really came out well. Hard to believe this started as an R/C body.

Looking good Christian :)
About your picture problem, have you tried to contact Ulrich Upietz maybe? I`m pretty sure he has the pictures your searching for, don`t know about the conditions, but it might be a chance to get what you need ;)
Take a stand!

Already looking good! What monsters!

Christian is at it again! Knowing his famous work, these are going to be museum piece beauties when done.

Cheers, Chris

Next step are the come together of body and chassis.

Image

The front wheels did not fit into the small wheel arches.So i had to scratch a bit.I sanded the wheel on the top and on the bottom a bit.
Was better but still a right height of a SUV.
So i used a styrene sheet under both side and now it looks way better.You can see the brown putty i used for it.

Image

Image

First time for me to open the door.Works well,but again a problem was detected.
When the door is open it can lay onto the fender just like the real car ca.
Seams like Tamiya did some strange angles at the body.
So i simply cut another edge from the door and now it can be glued to the fender when its done.
Its not correct,but it works.That is what counts.

Image

Image

On the inside i used some pins and sockets to hold altogether in the right spot.works fine,only need some fine sanding.

The C1/8 grows.

Image

The chassis is nearly done.Only some small adjustments.

Image

The inside was build with plastic sheet.The 956 Chassis fits good,only a few changes are made.

Image

Image

Rear of the car with diffusor and frame.

Image

Shot from "down under".Its not like the real one,but its ok.

Image

Chassis and body could be click together easily.

Thanks for watching!
