Finished this Focus body today...

Toop

Thanks Flo!! Some of these decals were tough, put more hours on my hair dryer for this body than I did in the 80s on my head!!!! 

🤣🤣🤣 I love this livery.

The Zerda ran at Montluçon few weeks ago. But it was with the main belt longer than what was required, with adjustment of the tightener rollers diameter to make it fit.

The proper belt arrived the day before Montluçon, and I had no chance to change it before the event or during the event.
I decided to do it today...

I can't imagine doing this on the field...
Anyway, it's almost done now...

Today I wrapped up my NSX TA-03 project. The recipe comprised of Tamiya decals, body and chassis from various sources. The "more than casual observer" will note that this is the wrong rear wing. The body came from yet another TT02 kit with a repurposed old school, graphically generic body. Unbenounced to me, Tamiya used the body kit from the 58220 kit which originally had a Mobil1 livery and a slightly different wing as opposed to the Mugen, Avex Dome livery I was creating. I never knew there was another body variation of the NSX body. Afetr 45 years in the hobby, I learned something new. LOL.

Anyway, I adapted the decals to the new wing as finding the right one would have been very difficult and undoubtedly delayed the project for quite a while and I intend on running this beauty. Found the chassis on line and it is in the correct grey as opposed to the rereleased black, missing a fair amount of bobbles but nothing I didn't have at home. May upgrade the motor but very happy with it............................for now...

This body is absolutly marvelous. I have black chassis under the 037 and if I remember the fs and rs ta03.(Mine are original first release).

Thanks Flo!! 

The only missing bit is the reflective round medallion for the roof. The PO didn't have it and neither did Nathanael...

Someday I will come across one

Right your initials in the round and it's your car😉. She's already awesome. 

Over the week-end, there was a rc vintage event in Belley, France... First set of pictures...
