Andreas Mx250 Coupe build

[slangenracing]

Seanick. -Thank you, yes i think it might be the first one, i don´t know if all the build are up on the forum or not, but it is the first green i have seen. I have always liked the BRG colour, but never owned one!

Axel, Thanks, yes i have painted in the garage with the doors open when it has rained a bit outside (almost all the time). So not a single bug or fly! But yes, there is a small amount of dust particles in the paint. That is impossible to get away from in these facilities! But i have tried too keep this one Low Cost, so no paintshop for me! The paint is a home mixed one (very cheap about 17 GBP for a liter). Also the paint was not easy to work with as it dried too fast. I am very happy i painted it in pieces, it would have been impossible to do a whole car! But later on i will sand the car with 2000 wet and polish it up, that gives it realy smooth finish and take away the dust.

Best regards from Andreas with the green nails, fingers and hands!

I bougt a set of these earlier on the bay, but i didn´t like the quality of them. Also these were for the rotary cars only.

But i really liked your badges. What would it cost to have a badge like yours made?

[Jeffr4]

As I am making these by- and for myself, I will not charge you for the badges you want and if you like ..a keychain too.. So send me a PM for your adress etc.

Andreas - I found the photo you posted will all those tubs of filler quite scary!

But clearly the quality of all your preparation work is reflected in the final paint work.

Good luck, Paul.

Thanks Paul! Happy to hear you like the finished result!

Yes, but i must point out that most of the filler went to the ground, and a lot was needed for the front end as i made all these modifications to it. I never used gelcoat, i used filler for that, as it also is polyester based. The kit itself doesnt need that much filler if kept as is. Also alot of filler was consumed when i lowered the roofline. I used the filler first on the inside too make a smooth transition, then layed the grp. After hardened i sanded down the outside, maybe 4-5 cm on the worst places to get down to the grp that was layed on inside. Almost four tubs Went there!

So i really want to point out that the kit is not bad as it is, it is just me that cant keep my hands off! Ofcourse the kit needs filler, but that is normal amounts!


Best regards, Andreas
