1963 Triumph TR4

This will be a TR4 that Bob Tullius raced at Sebring in 1963 as it is in modern times. I started with this die-cast.

After a complete disassembly I filled the holes on the hood and trunk where the lights were attached.

Very nice :grinning: Very smooth and clean look.

The body was painted white (Tamiya Lacquer). The roof and windshield are molded in clear and the decals on the windows needed to be kept in place, so some creative masking was employed to repaint both the inside and the outside.

The metal beading at the seams of the fenders are the raw die-cast body polished out.

That is a fabulous bit of work. Looking forwars to the next instalments.

The steering wheel needed a little punching up so I added wood grain to the rim.

The stripe color is the same shade of blue as the die-cast was originally painted so I mixed a match to it with Tamiya lacquers before repainting the car white

All the graphics are on it including the new badges and scripts. I designed and printed the decals.

Your Triumph is looking awesome! That white paint is so smooth and your decals laid down perfectly flat. I can’t wait to see the completed model.
