I have started to this project by inspiring great modeler Arsen Rostomyan. In this project, i am converting 2 doors sedan to a "4 doors". My goal is to built an 50's Istanbul cab, which is a part of my childhood.

Cok Guzel!

 

 

I lived in Izmir from 1966-68 so I remember the old US sedans as Turkish taxis! I'll be watching the project.
