GerN Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I picked this up from a vendor at a show for a few bucks - a glue bomb. I striped it , and, even worse, I started modifying it without taking any photos. I thought it would be easy to identify a plastic Ferrari. That's what the engine looked like, but now I suspect it didn't come with the kit. The body and chassis detail are good. I've added to the rocker panels (the body looked too shallow to me), replaced the front and eliminated the cooling intakes behind the doors. The latter are very nice with open slits, but I wanted to convert the car to front engine. It has a liitle similarity to a F355 or a 512, but I can't find anything really close to it. So . . . HELP!

afx Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Its a Nissan MID4 concept car. I have an un-started kit if you are interested in starting fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerN Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Wow! An immediate response. Thank you, but I already have one, just failed to make the connection (too many kits, not enough neurons). As you probably noticed, this is going to be a restyling or custom. Which is all I seem to be interested in any more. Again, thanks for your prompt response. Edited January 3, 2015 by GerN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Good luck. I'll be watching to see how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerN Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I ran off to check my MID4 - its the production car, not the prototype. Who did the prototype model? Here are some shots of mine in it's current state: I plan to add an engine after finishing the hood and copying it in resin, but I haven't decided on that yet; maybe the Nissan V8 race engine. I've already copied that, so its tempting. Ah ha! Fujimi did it (the MID4 proto) and it is still available. But I'm trying not to buy more kits until I finish one or two.

Brizio Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Interesting, looking forward on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Either Tamiya or Gunze ... perhaps even Testors (at least in name ; a relabelled kit) . Circa 1986-1987 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Its Fujimi. It has a very sexy body shape. Probably one I'll never get around to building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creative Explorer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 All mid4's are concepts. It never went into production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking vette( corvette that is ), but know way. This will probably turn out really cool if you take your time good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
