To start this thread, I show you the two parts that I painted in red. The back that I am going to glue so that it will be lacquered with the body ……<\/span><\/p>\n And the front, with the filter placed without gluing. I guess I’ll mess it up a bit:<\/span><\/p>\n I take advantage of this update to show you the process of the wheel hubcaps. Seeing that the nuts were complicated to paint well, and that I didn’t really like the way to fix the hubcap with bolts if it was, I started looking for some nuts to replace them. And since I was looking for the side lights on Spotmodel, I looked for some nuts and asked for them !! In the next photo I show you an original and another with the Scale Production nut superimposed. They were valid !!<\/span><\/p>\n So with the mini drill and a flat, cylinder-shaped grinding wheel, I was filing the center of the hubcap until the original plastic nut disappeared. Here we see two hubcaps with their rigid nuts, and the two wheels with the hubcaps superimposed with the new nuts. Say the front rims need the lug nut with that big stud to fix them, but I’ve had to cut the stud on the rear because they don’t need to be attached.<\/span><\/p>\n And here, everything is ready to be painted:<\/span><\/p>\n We turn to the side lights. Here I show you the originals of the kit. As Borja said well, although the shape was not wrong, the base was extremely wide:<\/span><\/p>\n So I proceed to cut and sand them. We see next to it, the bag with the lights that I will put on, which consist of a photoengraving for the base and a ball for the light. They come from Profil24.<\/span><\/p>\n We proceed to mask for priming and painting. I take advantage to also paint the back as I saw an extra point of paint !!<\/span><\/p>\n And here, all done: primed with Gravity and painted with Brilliant Zero (which isn’t shiny!):<\/span><\/p>\n And since Spotmodel was going to send me the above parts (and some other things …) very quickly, I took advantage and asked them for a grid to cover the NACA entrances behind, (of the four, those at the ends), which allow the passage air to the two turbos. Here you see the grille and the air intake to cover:<\/span><\/p>\n I thought about making a mold to make the grill by pressure, but since the body was painted, I did not want to damage it. So I used masking tape and drew the outline of the NACA shot:<\/span><\/p>\n We pass it to the grid …<\/span><\/p>\n And we cut it with a scissors, leaving an edge, to fold it. To do this, I used flat-nose pliers and shaped, with the method of testing every time I modified the grid. This one was allowed to bend and it was even shaped by pressing against an iron piece. Say that for the corners, I cut the grid at an angle so there would be space when folding the sides. Here we see one setting and another to be put:<\/span><\/p>\n And here, the two sets, being the result great!!<\/span><\/p>\n Gracias por ver y comentar!!<\/p>\n Now yes, I hope the next is the decals !!<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks for viewing and commenting!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En el post anterior dec\u00eda que quer\u00eda empezar con el proceso de poner las calcas, pero se ha truncado.

<\/a>Y la delantera, con el filtro colocado sin pegar. Me imagino que lo ensuciar\u00e9 un poco:<\/p>\n<\/a>Aprovecho esta actualizaci\u00f3n, para mostraros el proceso de los tapacubos de las llantas. Viendo que las tuercas eran complicadas de pintar bien, y que\u00a0 no me gustaba mucho la forma de fijar el tapacubos con unos pernos si forma, empiezo a buscar unas tuercas para sustituirlas. Y como estuve buscando las luces laterales en Spotmodel, busqu\u00e9 unas tuercas y las ped\u00ed!! En al siguiente foto os muestro una original y otra con la tuerca de Scale Production superpuesta. Eran v\u00e1lidas!!<\/p>\n<\/a>Entonces, con el minitaladro y una muela de base plana y con forma de cilindro, fui limando el centro del tapacubos hasta que la tuercaa original de pl\u00e1stico despareci\u00f3. Aqui vemos dos tapacubos con sus tuercas riginales, y las dos llantas con los tapacubos superpuestos con las tuercas nuevas. Decir que las llantas delanteras necesitan la tuerca con ese v\u00e1stago grande para fijarlas, pero he tenido que cortar el v\u00e1stago en las traseras porque no hace falta para fijarlas.<\/p>\n<\/a>Y aqu\u00ed, todo listo para pintarlas:<\/p>\n<\/a>Pasamos a las luces laterales. Aqu\u00ed os muestro las origianles del kit. Como bien dec\u00eda Borja, si bien la forma no es err\u00f3nea, la base es extremadamente ancha:<\/p>\n<\/a>Por lo que procedo a cortar y lijar. Vemos a su lado, al bolsa con las luces que pondr\u00e9, que se componen de un fotogranbado para la base y una bolita para la luz. Son de Profil24.<\/p>\n<\/a>Procedemos a enmascarar para imprimar y pintar. Aprovecho a pintar tambi\u00e9n la parte de atr\u00e1s ya que vi un punto extra de pintura!!<\/p>\n<\/a>Y aqu\u00ed, todo hecho: imprimado con Gravity y pintado con Zero brillante (que no es brillante!):<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a> <\/a>Y como Spotmodel me iba a mandar lo anterior (y alguan cosilla m\u00e1s….) muy r\u00e1pido, aprovech\u00e9 y les ped\u00ed rejilla para cubrir las entradas NACA de detr\u00e1s, (de las cuatro, las de los extremos), que permiten el paso de aire a los dos turbos. Aqu\u00ed veis la rejilla y la entrada de aire a cubrir:<\/p>\n<\/a>Pens\u00e9 en hacer un molde y contramolde para hacer la rejilla por presi\u00f3n, pero al estar la carrocer\u00eda pintada, no quer\u00eda da\u00f1arla. Entonces us\u00e9 cinta de enmascarar y dibuj\u00e9 el contormo de la toma NACA:<\/p>\n<\/a>Eso lo pasamos a la rejilla….<\/p>\n<\/a>Y recortamos con una tijeras, dejando un borde, para doblarlo. Para ello, us\u00e9 unos alicates de punta plana y fui dando forma, con el m\u00e9todo de ir probando cada vez que modificaba la rejilla. \u00c9sta, se dejaba doblar e incluso la di forma presionando contra una pieza de hierro. Decir que para las esquinas, recort\u00e9 la rejilla en \u00e1ngulo para que hubiera espacio al doblar los laterales. Aqu\u00ed vemos una puesta y otra por poner:<\/p>\n<\/a>Y aqu\u00ed, las dos puestas, siendo el resultado \u00f3ptimo!!<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a>Ahora si, espero que lo pr\u00f3ximo sean las calcas!!<\/p>\n
