The more pronounced front bumper was made by using polyester
putty. I made a template from a sheet of plastic, and used it as a guide to build up
the amount necessary.
The rear bumper was enlarged by using plastic sheet. The
general shape was formed by several pieces of plastic sheet, and the corners were made
with polyester putty. The louvers on the engine cover were made by cutting out
several pieces of plastic. The end of the rear wing was made with a piece of plastic
sheet also. The rear end of the body was cut open to install a different design of
louvers.
The wheels were made by resin casting. In order to avoid
duplicating the effort, the front wheel master was made by modifying the part in the kit,
and the mold for the front wheel was made. Then, the part was modified to represent
the rear wheel, and the rear wheel mold was made.
This is how the model looks now. The engine room is
detailed, and the interior is almost finished.
