ismaelg Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hello, My first model car of the year a.k.a. Slump-Buster. Tamiya kits are such a joy to build! Nothing spectacular here. Pretty much box stock with added fuel lines in the chassis, half shafts boots, seatbelts and its hardware, sun visors with opened mirror in the driver's side visor, home made license plate and insection sticker, aluminum exhaust tips and aftermarket wheels with added valve stems. I made the radio antenna but it is so ugly in its stock location (over the rear tire's flare) I may not use it. Enough talking. Here is "The Canary" What do you think? Your comments are appreciated.

ismaelg Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 How did you change the offset on the front wheels? Aren't those the Aoshima Kranz? Yes, those are Aoshima Kranz. The chrome rings were very carefully sliced in half. The offset will change depending on how much you slice off. I did try to machine my own rings but the attempt was a total failure. Thanks all for the comments! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
