  1. Many thanks Helmut.

    The task for this was to lay the decals down smoothly in the right shape, but without creating the „gaps“ from the louvers. I used lots of decal softener and a brush to „massage“ the right shape into it. After that I sealed it with Future/Pledge prior to applying the clear coat as I was afraid the clear would burn those gaps into the decal anyway. I‘ve had this happen with other kits before.

  2. Hi there,

    another one done for my Koenig Specials collection.

    The color scheme for this car is not from my own fantasy, but inspired by a real car that is presented in the YouTube clip below.

    I mixed the mintgreen interior color, aswell as the green color for the wooden inlays, using Tamiya acrylics. The door carts are lacking any kind of detail so I did a little bit of scratchbuilding for some more detail. Other than that, the kit is built OOB.

  3. Hi there,

    I took on this rather average Fujimi 90's kit.

    It comes with 16 inch stock wheels which will not only look kinda "lost" in the wheel wells, but will also make the whole car sit way too high. So the decision to switch the wheels was made at an early stage. I chose to use 19 inch wheels and tyres from an Aoshima Mazda RX7 kit. 

    Other than that, the kit is done OOB. Painted in Tamiya TS-40 and 2K clear from the can. The interior is done in Tamiya Nato Black.

  4. Well done. Nice to see that this kind of quality model is possible from this kit. I have the hardtop version of the same 92 kit in my stash. I do believe that it’s actually the same kit, as you can build both options. I planned on going for the open car version anyway, but certainly after seeing your great result.

    This is excellent work! I love that green metallic color. Could you point me in the right direction in acquiring some? 

    Thanks! Since you're not the first one asking, I checked the color I used in detail. Turned out that it's a Ford paint called Pacific Green.

    I might do a 90's Mustang in it one day. 😀
