Started this kit last few months ago, not sure can make it in time as im building the impreza wrc ^_^ , this is going to be my 1st kit with engine details
(POISON SKY TO START HIS CLK-GTR :P )

details on the kit:





quite alot of mold line, and its actually quite thick






nice & sharp details ^_^

decals:



solid colors are sharply printed but pics of the girl & guy not that sharp, but its okay

after a quick dryfit of the kit:





fitting looks good though not really perfect, there's some gap around 1mm

closer look at the body:





circle in RED are seam line need to be cover
circle in GREEN are panel line too shallow, need to be rescribe
circle in BLUE are spure mark & WTF, compare the box art, a lot of work need to be done
also a BIG gap circle in RED


i initially plan for an OOB built and also how to apply large decal, but after googleing a while, found some nice engine details, and i was tempted to try some wiring/plumbing later






chassis sink holes and seam lines fixed




rear cowl seam line fixed, panel line rescribe




chassis prime for error check




front cowl mold line remove, panel line rescribe
also i fixed the front opening/intake funnel which is 2 part

seamline all fix and putty

after some touch up,

i'm not aware this was not posted here earlier :rolleyes:
acheo and kirin oso has the same car :D

haha entau bro, wahhhhhhhh u so fast ah upload!!! :P racun kaw kaw + another kaw one. hahahah the kit looks damn good leh. Look at the engine pics mmmmmm (drooling). Well your poison worked! hahahaha have to start mine ASAP, especially the engine Oh my god!!!! :o

actually i started this kit before the WRC GB, already posted in another forum but not here yet :P

yeah..i spend many hours looking at the engine to 'study' the wiring :lol:

but entau bro, I thought it was supposed to be uploaded in the GB page?

yeah... but the GT sub section is not created yet

so i just put in normal wip section 1st

ah ha......nice capture the entau.....i didn't notice the gap between the side skirt and the roofscoop.....! professional work as always ^_^

i always compare the real thing and the kit to see if there is any significant differences, ^_^

not pro work cham, still got miles and miles away :lol:

so humble like druid_99.....apa lah you ini
pro means pro lah ! :D

with less then 5 completed car kit at my collection, dats impossible, even u i think got like 50 kits? :P

u wait till i got 50 completed kits, then can consider pro :lol:

no problem at all man... keep it up...

brother...the mold lines are quite thick..should have a lot of sanding works to be done..

my first engine detail car was the 360 modena spider..but i bet yours GTR will be more challeging than my 360..all the best..

talking about the gaps..checked out my old GTR just now..I had the same problem as you are having now..my GTR was build 10 years ago, and the decals were turning yellow too..wish to see a nice build of the GTR..kep up the good work, brother!

by the way..is this GTR poisonous enough to make sky to start out his GTR? :P

takes slightly longer to completely remove it, compare this and the impreza wrc, that impreza is just a piece of cheese cake :lol:

hope my poison works :ph43r:

Very nice & detail WIP. Great job, can't wait to see the finish build.

Entau,

Ur build makes me gatal-gatal to start my car.

entau bro, very racun leh your CLK. Managed to get this for mine :P

Looking good on your progress Entau... 1st time i ever c TMY got so many fitting and moulding problem....good of you to enlight us especially wanted to build this kit. I've the Original-Teile version and i guess will be having the same faith as yours. :(

What primer did u use? Can't wait to see this CLK of yours.... ;)

P.S .... i hope is not the lady on the decal that makes u build this CLK-Gtr... :lol:

BV: come come, start now :P

SKY: ur PE set lagi racun :lol:

pcevo: i think maybe this kit is abit old, between 1994~1997 i think, but the details are still very nice, i use mr surfacer 1200, using AB, not the lady, its the engine :lol:

Mr.Surfacer huh...Thanx Entau ;)

the Engine?...Agree...for me ... car kits with engine are really a car modelers must have kit ^_^

This is the same PE that I got for my CLK-GTR. :D

Entau, you still got any photo of the engine part, like those you show me in your house that night? ^_^

Going to revive my CLK-GTR very soon. :P

wahlawei abg kirin also going to start CLK. hehe. Meaning 3 people already have this kit hehe. Abg entau. Please share the engine picture ok. My refference not that good lah, cannot see engine detail clearly <_<

Got, but its in my computer, if both of you guys want it, PM me your emails, i'll email to you guys, fastre mah, no need upload to the slow photobucket :P

You got PM soon.

Wahlao, Bro sky also got this kit? Have to follow both sifu, you and entau's WIP closely for this build. Sure will learn a lot from you guys. :D

Abg Kirin, where got sifu :P .

Hehe if you see the PE set, it was bought for my CLK. But sorry to inform you that I will not be starting this CLK soon because its a different one. The clear view type and my polishing skills for sanding mold lines are really bad. Especially on transparent items. So need to practise a lot in order to start this kit. Maybe after finishing my impreza and delorean, then I'll start on this kit so actually I'll be learning from you and broder entau hehe.

My CLK click me bebeh

haha I also PM broder entau already for the engine pics hehe. This sifu makes our lives a lot better. Very hard to find the refference wooo. Thanks again sifu ;)

wahlawei I just received the picture from sifu entau. Really crazy detailings :wacko: thankssssssssssssssssssss bro. I shall try to duplicate 100% the same thing to the real car. Maybe gonna take me 5 months to complete haiya :(

Sky, im not sifu lah :P

its actually quite headache to look at those real reference pics, so i include others modelers' work, so u guys can decided how to simplified the details ^_^

ok thank you again wahahahaha.

Abg kirin what do you think? difficult or not? :P

Email received and lots a lots of photos!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Entau!

Well, I will take this as a challege to build and duplicate as same as I can. But I will tell myself no stress on this one... take it as a leisure build or a side project.

Just open the third email and saw the Blue Original Teile!!!! Ishhhh... I already got the aftermarket decal for D2... So temptng to build the blue one.... :blink:

Any ideal where he got this 'Original Teile' decal? I tried HLJ, but cant find.

not sure :P

oh my godddddddddddd :o :o

And for best of all.. better get this standby..

I've tested it on a piece of clear pastic, once dried, I tried to crumble it. The dried film still there intact.. impressive..

I've seen multifilla's sample pic of their H2O, should be of similiar function, but I find the microsol one super thin once dried.
