As you can see from the photos, I have not been to the construction of the carriage!, The panels are all finished, windows, doors and vents are already cut, as can watch the rear panel tm a color different from the others, it was built epoxy resin, but this resin has against take too long to solidify, whereby the other panels utilized resin polyester, there have a lower price, it solidifies quickly, although it has the same quality all panels will be reinforced, eventually have the same consistency of other resin can also see the inner structure where the panels will be fixed, but everything is still provisionally fixed the yard he also provisional.but some pictures for better assessment of progress .

Start of construction of the carbody of Malaposta, as you can see, this part is one of the most complex and difficult to implement, there are several ways to do this construction, easy and simple, but I prefer this more time consuming and difficult method, but with greater results in promenor and beauty of the model, the construction of the side panels, front and rear, are not flat, but curved in orizontal and vertical, so I do these separate parts, and after duly desempoladas using it sércias to compare the camber of the parties, are fixed in their places, but first I do matrices wood, to the negative and then the original fiberglass, here are some photos in order to elucidate the way I do these panels.
