mitchell Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 a Hasegawa kit. Fit is alright,its not quite tamiya but the finish result is not bad. Scaling feels quite accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Nice build Mitchell, I built the same kit with another one to do! They do turn out quite good when you take your time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAone Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Awesome dragon bro. The color and wheel combo is truly old school. I prefer the hasegawa kit over the aoshima kit. I have several of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Nice! I have most generation Celica models tucked away for future builds. I have a 1:1 '95 Celica GT convertible. The last generation of convertible. My first encounter with a Celica was around 1973 or so in high school. My German teacher had one of those first generation cars and saw me walking home from school. He offered me a ride and floored it. He worked his way through the gears, no doubt to impress me. He did since i still remember that short ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks for the compliments. this model is commissioned by a friend in Hong Kong. It is safely at his place in HK now. this is last day before it left my house so took a picture with his big brother, a 1/12 934. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Beautiful work. Very 70's color choice. I grew up with my parents' 1971 Celica. Great little car.I've got the Nippon Gran Prix version I need to get started on myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 This is from the grand prix kit, therefore it has the beautiful flares on it. Just didn't use the light covers and some misc parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
