RX-7 in half scale – chassis work

April 19, 2018

Continuing work on the RX-7 in half scale. A smaller scale model has less detailing and fewer individual parts, but they are often sturdier because so much is molded as one piece. Case in point, I could not get the delicate suspension of the 1:16 scale Model T to work and ended up gluing the whole thing as a solid assembly. The RX-7, though, has an articulated front that actually works. The wheels angle from side to side.

I’ve put on the fancy chrome muffler that is included with the kit.

I also painted the brake calipers red.  :]

Next up in assembly is the interior, and I need to get back to the body paint.
