    Thank you so much! It is my all-time favorite car as well. I figure after this 1/12, i will save my larger scales for when i'm older as well. For 1/16-1/12, Fujimi, Otaki, Doyusha, and Testors(Fujimi) are all my favorites.

    If it freaks you out, or like me, you just get tired of flexing the body every time you have to test fit something, then this next bit i did will interest you. -Photo 1; I decided to hack off the entire back end of the fender wells. Now the body comes on and off easily. -Photo 2-3; The hack job is totally covered, and even though you wont be able to see it anyway, all the electronics will hide the not so factory mod. -Photo 4; It all lines up the kit way again. -Photo 5; I'm gonna have to make wheel spacers since the tyres are slightly, but just too close together.

    I dont know about anybody else, but this kits interior tubs bottom was arched a bit, which wouldnt allow it to fit properly, so i came up with a few things to fix the issue. -Photo 1; After sanding flat the interior tub tabs, i glued strips of styrene to the body section in order to sandwich the interior tabs into a definite location. -Photo 2; It worked brilliantly, and is VERY solid. -Photo 3; You can see the sandwich. -Photo 4; I removed any molded in tub locaters, because the warping wasnt allowing them to line up...they werent needed anymore anyway. You can also see another view of the tab. -Photo 5; Here you can also see where i had to notch things earlier to fit the tub to the body.

    Hey, everyone, i have some more progress to show here... -Photo 1; Using another trick like with the drivers door, i use pins to slide up so that the hinges will more closely resemble the real thing when visible.

    I've been waiting a while for this detail! Weather stripping made with thin sheet styrene, and rod. -Photo 2; Strut bracket attached to the bottom side. -Photo 3; This is a notch for the door catch. -Photo 4; The hood, and boot strut brackets are also attached to the bottom here. -Photo 5; This area of the weather stripping on both sides was notched out to give movement room for the boot hinges. -Photo 6; Just a view of the contact, and placement spots.
