[TC18] Targa Turbo V6

[InKon]

Hi, I started build model for competition.

It`s my first myself model, which I must do in limited range. I think it will be very interesting - not many details and no expensive electronics, small scale. 

In model must be engine, steering system, differential  ( I think so)- all of it will be in my model. I saw many builders used the Corvett`s engine and steering system, but I have`t parts for it. I`ll build engine from two independent blocks installed on a frame - it will be a base front part of model.

But V8 is very long for me, and I stopped on V6 and from more power, maybe turbo )) Right side in stop position for testing.

Shaft of steering system is under left cylinder bank. It`s hard to put front engine position and steering system with rack.  I used 4 gears, both axles are working. 

I finished a front panel. It has many angles, but I think it normal for old car models.

Model is in progress,I install seats and doors.

It must be Targa. I installed power connection, which closes front and rear parts.

Hog will be between seats.Trunk is behind saloon and has opening roof.

Top view on the targa. Working wheel will be in saloon, for this i used in additional 5 gears, and 3 for Hog. Steering system with Hog and working wheel have 12 gears in construction.

Suiciding doors are in model, they can open.

I separated the model on modular parts.

I made this model in time around 40 hours, it was very interesting and pleasurable.

The model has working steering system with working wheel in saloon and Hog, working engine V6, opening doors, trunk, hood and how truth Targa has hard parts of roof for rain.

I wanted to count parts of model and change several green and blue parts. I made pictures step by step of my building model.

And now I want to share them, I several shorten count of them, but I think enough. I hope I don't disturb the rules. In final model aren`t green and blue parts - they are grey and black.

In engine added 6 "Technic Bush 1/2 " under red bushes for shorten stroke of pistons.
