Scale-Master Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 This was one of the most enjoyable models I have ever built. (And I have built thousands.) Fit and engineering are superb; a highly recommendable kit. I was able to build this in less than two weeks, start to finish. The rear wing can be displayed up or down. I like that option, but in the end I like the look of it in the down position. I went with the flat black wheels because the silver plating looked too toy-like with this color scheme. WIP Thread: http://www.modelcars...opic=53593&st=0 I did some light weathering and shading to break up that mass of black on the belly pans. At least some of the chassis detail shows through… A couple shots of the engine… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Laski Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Wow! It looks real, Mark. Awesome job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmagiclives Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 AWESOME !!! I'm loving that car more and more. One question mark, are those key holes at the rear edge of both doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Oh, that turned out very nice. I like the flat black wheels. This car is not about the wheels - and I think chrome or silver would make them more of a focus. Very well done.

Scale-Master Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 One question mark, are those key holes at the rear edge of both doors? Thanks everyone. I'm not 100% sure if they are door locks, but the instructions said to paint them silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This came out great, Mark. I really like the pearl white paint on there with the CF top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Mark, fantastic job on the Lexus! It looks intimidating in the box, but yours and Bob's both look fabulous. I'm looking forward to getting to start on mine. The CF top really adds to this one. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Eventually we're going to run out of superlatives if you keep posting up stuff like this. As you said, it's too bad so much of the detail is covered by the panels on the chassis, but at least we got to see it. I can certainly see why you enjoyed building this kit. I noticed the model is RHD. Do you happen to know if the initial 1:1 version will only be made for sale in Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
