Italeri 1/12 Fiat Mefistofeles

[Guest]

Hi all well the world record version had two seats so the co driver could use the pump to increase the fuel/air mix.
Here is my first attempt at the extra seat.



As you can plainly see it's rubbish, this was made with das modelling clay and I tried a few times with this (including trying to make a mould of the original but none were any good so I tried a different approach, i heated some 2 mil plastic and wrapped it round the seat, let that cool then heated some more and pushed inside that which (although not an exact copy gave me the shape of the seat) I then sanded and cut the sides to suit.
So here is the next version


And here they are installed, just a few more bits to do now.

Well that's strange as I did post it. Only thing I can think is maybe I composed it with all the pics and stuff and then left before pressing the post button. Guess I will just have to post it again.

That's been a long time waiting on Heller Ken. I'm sure you'll do a cracking job with the fiat. I want this kit but can't justify the money. Besides, I've got too many waiting for me to get back on the bench.
