RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA

Thank you everyone for the compliment! The funny thing is the rain started shortly after I placed the car to take the photos, so that was unexpected. I guess it's good how everything turned out.

Thank you everyone for the compliment! Much appreciated! Diolex sells these resin '77 Tbird kits on ebay if anyone else is interested in building one.

New photos of a completed model. Revell 1956 Chevrolet Nomad in Sherwood Green and India Ivory.

Monogram 1934 Duesenberg SJ Roadster that was completed few months ago. This is a vintage kit from 1976 when the actual car was only 42 years old.

New outdoor shots of my 1975 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega tribute. It's a tribute because real '75 CosVegs were painted black with gold trim only. The '76 that has a different front clip came in different shades of paint including this Mahogany paint. So this is like taking a base Vega and painting it to look like a CosVeg. I tried to fix it up. You can see in the last couple of pics it was a wreck. That's how I got it with lots of missing parts. Many parts came from parts box and other kits that had spare parts, while some parts were fabricated. Chances are most people would throw it away when it had that many missing parts, but I decided to give it a new lease on life.

One more of my latest build of one awesome MPC kit. I built the '77 and '80 almost simultaneously over a period of many weeks. Fun fact - The '80 kit only has different body, grille, headlights, and bumpers, but everything else is the exact same as the '77 kit. So if you have the hard to find and usually more expensive '77 kit body with bumpers but missing many other parts, you can get the reissued '80 kit to complete your model. Also by fabricating a few extra parts you can make the engine bay more realistic.

My recently completed build of a vintage MPC model kit. Paint is Tamiya Silver Leaf that was then sprayed with SprayMax 2K clear coat. The decals were clear coated because those are over 45 years old and can disintegrate once placed in water unless you clear coat or use a decal bonder. By fabricating a few extra pieces you can make the engine bay more realistic.

Thank you everyone for the compliment! Here are some process shots for anyone who's interested. The base car was the Maisto 1/26 scale die cast green Caprice Lowrider with yellow graphics that was altered to make the LS Brougham version. The same can be done with Greenlight's new 1/24 scale Caprice police car. If I get my hands on one of those Greenlight models I'll build another LS.

This was originally a 1/26 scale green Caprice Classic Lowrider die cast model by Maisto that was converted into the top of the line showroom version you see here. Took a very long time to make this, but this was a car model I wanted for years. Check out the ultra plush genuine velour interior!

Thank you everyone for the compliment! Much appreciated!

This is a 1/25 scale 3D printed resin kit created by Oleks Dmitr, owner of DiOlex Production that was based in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, in Ukraine. This is a car I wanted to make a model of for years. When one became available I had to get it and put it together. The exterior paint is Light Jade Irid. while the vinyl top is Dark Jade. The kit came with the factory turbine wheels but I had to get the tires from parts bin. Also the engine was from my parts bin. I'll install the exhaust pipe along with cats and the underside will look much better, but this model is otherwise complete. The body was sprayed with SprayMax 2K clearcoat to make it shiny. The hood ornament did not come with this kit but it was with another resin '77 to '79 Tbird that was created by another resin model maker. I need to finish that one.

Nice build!

Awesome build of a seldom seen model car!

Great quality build! I thought it was a real car!

Nice model of a great looking car!

Wow! Awesome build!

That turned out awesome! I have one in the box that needs detailed and some assembly. It will be a replica of Sabrina's car from Charlie's Angels when completed.

Nice model car! Hope to build one of these myself one day.

Wow! Such a nice looking build!

I completed this model two years ago. This is an original Monogram 1/24 scale plastic model kit from when the car was brand new. The exterior paint is Tamiya gold. The interior is Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric paint I got from Canadian Tire. The kit comes with a turbo charger that I did not install on my car. The round air cleaner came from the '77 Ford Econoline van kit and was slightly modified to make the entire piece look like how it appears on the actual car. I added seat belt and radio antenna to make the model look more realistic. If anyone else built a model of a Chevy Citation I would love to see that.
