Hi guys,
Not a lot of work these last weeks but i am close to the end with this model. Still some work to do with the engine and rear suspension.
Few pictures with the newest additions: front suspension, sanded tyres, cockpit, mirrors, few parts on the top of the tank.
My best trials to give you a picture of the semigloss aspect of the car..... In comparison, the windscreen is glossy.

Good to see an update, I really like this build. Looking great, especially the paint and lion decals. Laid down perfectly and smoothly. Looking forward to seeing you get it all wrapped up.
Cheers,
Chris

The semigloss work beautifully. The model has a nice scale feel about it, so I'm keen to give this a go on one of my models soon.

Hi guys, thanks for all your comments.
Last assembly step on the rear parts: the shock absorbers. I used 1/24 after market parts glued to styrene scratchbuilded ends.
Close to the end

Nice work. Nothing beats real springs at this scale (or even 1/43!)
