I'm not sure of this is the same smart car but when i was at college the cops in aberdeen (scotland) had one as a patrol car. It was probably more for visiting show and schools than any practical cop use. It always made me laugh (with not at) when 2 big cops got out and one road cone filled the boot (trunk). I cant find a pic that will let me share it here
It may be like london where gas/diesel cars have to pay a charge to drive in certain areas, while electric get free. Also the japanese trains are extremely punctual and appologise for being even one minute late and give you vouchers for employers to confirm the train is late (unlike most of the rest of the world where you expect the trains to be late so catch an earlier one). A quick google search on japanese trains will show some surprising facts about them.
This arrived this morning, i think it may be a tamiya release of a revell kit as the wheels aren'tlike any of my other japanese kits being 2 pieces opposed to the usual one piece
You'd probably be better using bmf instead of the molotowe pens. The first thing thats going to happen is he'll give it a clean and the molotowe will just be ruined
I travelled across to the scottish mainland yesterday to visit the caithness model club show. It was pretty packed with a variety of different builds from wooden sailing boats all the way through to diecast trucks. Unfortunatelly the room it was in had really bad lighting so please dont take my pics as representative of the quality, they were all really well done and many of the diecasts had been redone to liveries of local companies. There are over a hundred pics at the link https://www.flickr.com/photos/111449995@N04/albums/72157707770915545
I'm assuming they are made by ucsp. Hows the quality on the wheels? they have some I'd like to get but I've been holding off purchasing until I've seen some used as they are a little more expensive than others on this side of the pond
Oops, I must have done that when I was dusting it for the pics, I didn't even notice but it will be fixed very soon. Yes it is lace on the roof, actually it was my first attempt at lace
I built this a couple of years ago from the hasegawa van. Other than the slight lowering of the front and the paint it is box stock. It is just a simple curbside build but fits in with my Vw collection,
