cobraman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This started out as an item I stumbled upon on ebay. It was cheap and I thought it had some nice lines. It is a 1/32 Tamiya model/toy as it can be battery operated. I thought I would try my hand at making something from this simple kit. I used only the body and added wheels and tires from the parts box and cut down some hot rod fenders and took a front and rear axle also. Paint is red, silver and blue followed by decals and clear coat. Added aluminum wheel discs that I bought on ebay. Not very happy with it but it is what it is and thought I would show it anyway. If nothing else maybe I gave you a laugh. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Now, that's different for sure. Looks like it would work IRL. Not too crazy about the fenders tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I agree. It's just a goofy thing I threw together just to build something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Interesting project. Is there any date for when it was made. Seems like quite a departure from what tamiya does these days. Nice job on the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Paint looks great. i can see why you were inspired to build an LSR car from it. Certainly looks the part. I especially like the rear 3/4 and top shots. Edited February 19, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
