Plowboy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Just finished this one up. It's just a simple build for fun. No details with a few changes made (wheels, tires, lowered and cowl hood. The idea for it was to build a Beretta that a pony car lover wouldn't mind driving. Sort of a "what if Chevy had replaced the Camaro with the Beretta?" While this model was way out of my norm, it was a pretty fun little model to build. The only issues I encountered were the fitment of the glass after I had eliminated the runners and the fit of the down pipe from the optional turbo to the exhaust. Other than that, it went pretty well. I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Definitely something different and I always like to change things up. It'll fit right in with my Escort and Pinto models. Paint is Tamiya Chrome Yellow and clear. Thanx for checking it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 That looks great! Still, I'm glad the Beretta and the Probe didn't completely replace the Camaro and the Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I always thought these cars were pretty cool. Very nicely done. Love the wheels/ tires and the color. Hood looks great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I like it. Can you imagine the uproar if this had replaced the Camaro? And to think Ford almost did that, with the Probe and the Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi Roger, that is a great version of the Baretta! Love the Chev rally’s on it, with low profile tires, cowl hood... looks fantastic. Although, I agree with the others, thankfully it did not replace the Camaro. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautifully done. Where did you get the wheels friend! Thanx Carl! No idea of their origin. I got them in a trade many years ago. Thinking they came from a diecast.
