janositamas Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi Guys, here is the new Fiat 500 of Fujimi finished box stock. I built it for my wife so it looks rather a girl-car than a sport one especially for the body color. Almost everything is box stock, BMF added instead of the kit decals for the chrome parts and that's it. Here are the pics, I hope you like it: Thanks for your attention, any C&C are welcome!

Crazy Ed Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi Tommy Nice job. I didn't realize that Fiat had brought back the 500. I was expecting a Hardtop Jolly Ed Erbeck Jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 A good looking kit .. and build! Does it have an engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 WoW not quite my speed, but a NICE BUILD just the same! Clean, spotless paint, excellent detail painting, Just an all-around NICE model! Hope she likes it, I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Nice work Tommy! Not a fan of the color on it, but hey if it makes the wife happy it's a home run. Another clean build. I'm working on one myself right now, but I have aftermarket wheels and trying to get them to fit underneath and inside of the car is proving to be a tough job. I try to do a little bit each day. I have a feeling that Fujimi will issue an Abarth version, just not sure when. I know you can purchase/pre-order some Abarth decals now. Foxer, no engine, just the bottom half molded into the chassis. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Tommy- Gotta add my 2 cents. I agree. Nice build. I've got to start branching out more into foreign cars. I like the photos of all your builds. Very clean. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's great!! Excellent build and you gotta love the subject matter. I wonder if there's a way to stuff a hemi in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Excellent looking Fiat.. I need to find one of those.. Gotta love the Odd ball Rides.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janositamas Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thank you Guys for the kind words! Unfortunately there's no engine in the kit as Crispy wrote but hopefully an Abarth version is coming out in the future! Crispy, I feel for you as fitting some other rims won't be easy now I see, I planned to replace the rims but changed my mind at the moment I saw what a small area could I use for the rims. Unfortunately the stock wheels are very small in width so you probably have to rebuild the whole chassis to replace the rims! I wish you good luck for it! And yes, my wife likes it sooo much she wants it alone in a display case not in my display cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Tommy, believe me, I have lots of Fujimi plastic on my shop floor. Cutting, shaving, re-sizing. THEY WILL FIT I tell ya. LOL Here are the wheels I am using on it: The wheels are pretty wide. That's the big problem. Ride height is something else I'm working on. I didn't realize how small this car and kit are!

Jon Cole Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Nice build of the 2012 Chrysler! Seriously, I had no idea the Fiat 500 was available. You did a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
