BNS XR8 model ute,

KT · 07-04-2009, 21:14

Ok so I was given a challenge to build a model bns XR8 for a friend, probably one of the most recognizable utes in australia, particularly NSW, anyone in the hunter region will know the pringo ute!!! Let me know what you think??

Below is the original -

and here is the model - limited edition blueprint FPV 1:18th scale model

KT · 07-04-2009, 21:28

here are the sideskirts all in checker plate, you cant see at the moment as they are still covered in masking tape and not at their final fit -

KT · 07-04-2009, 21:31

The next stage is the massive 5 poster, the front spoiler couldnt be cut out because it would damage the die cast model, the 3 middle posts look bigger than they actually are, but this is the next stage -

You can't quite see it in these photos but I will take a close up soon, I put putty into a syringe and 'welded' the seems, pretty good if you ask me...

Still a little daylight in the mock up and a little extension needed but this will all be done in the details.

Top down shot, I'm not really happy with the side bars but I don't wanna pull it all apart and re do just yet.

Side mock up with what I have done so far

Angled mock up... just coz it looks good like this
