Jurva Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek0Zf64NVsohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCMtVawd_Vo Having watched couple of crazy UAE sand drag race videos, I decided to build one machine myself. Italeri Land Cruiser. The military one with the gun. I'm not going to build full engine. Instead I will make huge turbo to stick trough the bonnet. Parts Box resin turbo added to scratchbuild manifold. Exhaust pipes made from styrene. Tyres are from Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero and rims are either Fujimi on Aoshima ones. Color will be Zero paints Subaru blue. Scratchbuild intercooler. I'll build also a some sort of box for dry ice, for drag race use. Scratchbuild Optima battery and fuel tank.

Jurva Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Here's couple of photos of test assembly and weathering. I'm going to make this car like it's been driven. What do you think about weathering so far. I'm using MIG Beach sand. Also added seats and belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
