Hello,
Here is the last issue from my side. As for all other GTM, I really enjoyed to do it.
I still have to adjust the chassis (Wheels must be slightly backward) and set another guide than the used one (it didn't touch the pit) All mobile part are Slot-it Motor is NSR Wheels and tires comes from BRM
I hope that you will like it

I agree, lovely car and lovely work.
Can anybody explain the mysterious yellow ball in the grill opening?

Perhaps a driving light turned around to avoid damage?

Beautiful executed build Pike, thanks for sharing. Have you painted the shuts lines with a fine brush? Cheers.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind words
Regarding the "mysterious yellow ball" it is indeed a driving light turned around to avoid damage. You can easily find pictures with this light paint in yellow or grey. But it seems that it was sometimes red...
Brian: yes. I painted the shuts line with a fine brush. First of all I use a gloss varnish. Then I use a “panel line” from Tamiya with a 5/0 fine brush. This is really easy to use. You just have to drop a little bead and it follow the line thanks to the capillarisation phenomena. When dry, you can remove potential splash using a q-tip with white spirit
If you use it on a mate varnish, the capillarisation didn't works correctly. Up to you to add a mate varnish at the end of your work
Hope this help

I too have built this model and I too did the panel lines but my method is similar but different. I simply use watered down black acrylic paint which runs into the shut lines and then can be wiped off with a wet finger afterwards. Hope you don't mind me posting photo's Jean Marie. Thanks, Pete

Whaouuuuu When I look to your 300s I can see that I still have a lot of room for improvement on my side (Shadow on the “barrel cover” , right color for the jersey and the helmet of sir Moss, lines to separate the windshield and the door windows etc etc…) What a beautiful car you made!

Pete, that's a tasty build. Getting close to old Dave Wisdom quality there!
Cheers, Martin

Like Pete I also favour the 'wash' for panel lines. I normally use enamel paint of a darker colour than the body itself, often with a little black added. Easily wiped off if required.
Peter.

Thanks for the advice Jean-Marie. I will be using this on my next builds.
Pete, beautiful build.
Best regards.
