Built from the Academy release of the Italeri kit. I shaved the bumperettes, replaced the tires and wipers, made new door panels, customized a set of seats from a Doyusha DB5, and did some engine detailing. A full writeup of everything I did is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

They were made by Custom Squads/Models by Tony, but I believe they closed shop a couple of years ago.

That's awesome, nice work!

Thank you! I'm especially impressed with how well Aoshima designed the sawblades: they automatically spread apart when open, and automatically stack when closed. It's so simple but effective.

Very cool!

Looks good! And yeah, the only place I've seen those hubcaps is resin aftermarket.

Very clean work, nicely done!

Very cool, I always liked these monsters

Very slick, tthat looks great!

That paint is killer, beautiful work on this!

This kit can be extremely fiddly, but you really did a fantastic job with it!

Thank you!

Beautiful work, you've nailed the custom coach look!

Excellent!

That's pretty cool, nice work!

Thanks, guys! Of course not, every project I start I make sure to see to a speedy conclusion! 😆

Thanks!

Great job on this, the weathering looks spot-on!

As well you should be, that looks great!

Thanks, guys! It's a good kit, a little odd in places but nothing that makes it frustrating or difficult.

Great job on this!

Nicely done, that turned out great!

Built from the Aoshima kit. Overall it's a good kit, but there are a few oddities like how they split the body along the character line (the lower halves were part of the chassis) and a fully greebled trunk with no opening deck lid. These were offset by the myriad working features including the steering, camera, saw blades, auto jacks, and homing robot. I cut the lower sides off the chassis and made a complete body before painting, opened the trunk, detailed the engine, and added disc brakes all around. A full writeup of everyhing I did is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

You'd never know the decals fought you like that looking at it, this turned out great!

Excellent job on this (mostly) forgotten history!
