Production is progressing little by little. It looks like it will take some time to complete.

I sprayed the surfacer on the gas tank and checked the dented part.
After spraying with black spray and rubbing with a file The part that remains black is dented.

Lightly apply the putty to the areas where the color remains.

I piled putty and repeated shavings.

I don’t know the cowling material.　ABS?　PP?

The corners consist of different types of putty.　A screw is included for reinforcement.

There is a large-capacity accessory case on the back side of the cowl.

Finally, spray the surfacer again.

It’s hard to see, but the screws that were put in the corners for reinforcement were raised, so I scraped them off later.

As a form, it may have approached “Purple Rain”.　I do not know the angle of the corner part of the actual car.　If you go to “Paisley Park” in Minneapolis, you can see the actual car, so I’d like to go there someday.

I painted it red!　To put the symbol mark, first paint red.　After drying, cut the masking tape in the shape of the symbol mark and paste it.

Next time I will paint the cowling purple. Please stay tuned.
