This is the start of a group of racing cars, i think mainly based on the famous and lovely 262 fuselage . . .  Some of you might renember that i have a big preference on this german masterpiece 😆 .


First i slaughtered a brand new HOT WHEELS car for the engine .   

Than build the main Track  , backward wheels where ready , made them last year for another build and did not use them .

Today i have to close the gaps of the wing base , not the sweetest job that i can Imagine .   

On the underside is a real big hole to put the track construction inside the fuselage .
The other wheels should become some frames to hold like the blue flame speed car from the 70's .

Today i did a lot of work on the body ,  fixed the track, started the rear wheel construction and did some aging on the engine .

Aging with the new Valejo Game Color and the Airbrush thinner , they work very good together !

When I filled the underside of my Revell 262, I started with the wing centre section - this saved a lot of time and filing. Just a thought. 

NO 

Thanx for your suggestion, but this original part is not easy to use because there are the open bays for the landing gear .  And this build needs a bigger hole for the wide tracks ( 1:35 Pz.IV )  , so in real I need only two stripes of 3 mm on each side .

Cool! Come out nicely. 

Do they fire the cannons at the end of the run, to add a bit of braking effect? No Rick, that would be Silly...

    watch the rules on race track !

First step of preshading , Valejo  black and thinner ,  now i went to color .
