galaxyg Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Build notes: Because the kit also includes the non-Liberty-Walk suspension parts, I was able to use those instead, making the car's stance look normal. I also swapped the stretched/pulled tyres for some normal ones and painted the black wheels silver. All this greatly improves the look of the car (for my taste) - and I have come to really love the result. Other additions to the kit are the Hobby Design Photo Etch kit, some seatbelt retainers, the rear number plate and a small amount of carbon fibre decal. I've also intentionally omitted some of the less desirable Liberty Walk decals. Painted in Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green and clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss. Quite possibly the best set of photos I've taken of any build. Built over the space of 12 days. Edited January 9, 2022 by galaxyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Very clean build. Certainly gets your attention painted the TS-52, cant say ive seen one of these kits painted that color. Amazing how different those wheels look painted silver, compared to usual black. Well done. Edited January 10, 2022 by Cool Hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Luke is right, that color Instantly grabs your eye. Great looking model. There is just enough black to break up all that green. Fantastic looking eye candy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Beautiful build and an huge improvement in my opinion over the normal stance of those, that seems more practical an realistic, and quicker down the track than the LB stance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Beautiful looking finishes and the color is a real attention getter. I agree with you on the wheel color. Never understood having a great looking set of wheels on a car and then paint them black so you can't see any of the wheel details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
