Austin T Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I kinda love/hate the wheels,I love the way they look and I hate how delicate they are in real life.Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports850 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Looks good , looks like a realistic swap . I'm surprised there aren't more scale engine swaps in mini's since they are becoming common in 1:1 , I've been trying to find a scale Toyota 4EFTE engine (starlet GT) as that's the common swap down here .

Glenn , whereabouts in Oz are you , last I was in Sydney Hobbyco (QVB in the city) had a couple of the Tamiya 1:12 mini's (around $100 though) , here's one I'm doing with a Suzuki GSX1100 engine front mounted , it's sitting at the back of the shelf at the moment while I do a couple of quicker projects but will be back on the bench soon . http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53127&st=0&p=622646&hl=gsx1100&#entry622646 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
