Aoshima LB Performance kit -Color is Zero Paints LB Performance 2 part paint -Different wheels

It's certainly different but very cool. Especially that engine sets it apart.

Thanks for the comments. Seatbelts are made using photoetched parts and some "seatbelt" material cutted to 2mm width. I don't exactly know what that material is, but it has pattern close to seatbelts. Here's better picture of the belts. Also forget to mention that I modified the seats a bit, to have better side support.

I wanted to build this Honda S600 as a track oriented street car. I was thinking about changing engine to wankel engine or turbocharging the kits own engine. Even when I cut the wheel wells, it didn't have enough room for turbo. Then I found a picture of these twin stack intakes, I decided to build those. Also remembered that I have this metal bike exhaust silencer from Fujimi, that would fit nicely to this little bikeish engine car. Other mods for this car was changing the wheels and tyres to 15" ATS Classics from USCP. They might poke out little too much. I lowered the suspension alot, although rear seems to be a little too high. Interior got some belts and a roll hoop. Paint is Zero Aquamarine blue.

Here is the shackles. They could almost be used as exhaust manifold flanges too.

That green is straight from spray can. I don't know specific shade.

Nice photo you added John. Haven't seen that movie. I'll add picture of those shackles I found later.

Both cars have detachable hoods. Red one is built without engine and i glued it to have raised from rear. White's hood isn't just placed properly. But they are little tight to put in place.

Nice Hasegawa kit. Added front bumper from old Airfix Cavalier, wheel arches and side skirts from Fujimi set and Tamiya rear wing. Seats are changed. Wheels are resin TE37V's. Also added side exhaust.

This AMT kit started when I found these jewel things, that looked very much leafspring shackles. So this car was deemed to have its rear end lifted way up. That of course meant finding some big rear tyres. They are Fujimis with widened steels rims. Front wheels are some lowrider tyres. Otherwise pretty much "stock" build.

AMT kit with some mods -Scratchbuilt intake manifold, oil catcher tank and lot of wiring. Engine is otherwise "original" 396 -Resin widened steelies and wider rear tyres

Couple bonus pics

Here's my recently finished R32 Skyline for time attack events. It's Tamiya AXIA Group A version. Changes: -Scratchbuilt frontlip, diffuser and wing stands. -Rear wing and mirrors from 350Z race car. -Center exhaust

If you can, order some tire black color. Many manufactures offer them. Also you could mix something up. Anybody has an idea how to mix tyre color?

Air cleaners look very nice. Please post how-to making them.

Very nice project you have there. What is that tubing for cooling interior?

Love this build. Very inspiring. I may have to buy that cutter because of you. Now finish that Challenger.

Love the color combo.

Is this Fujimi or Aoshima. Either way, they often require lowering front suspension, due the universal chassis. Easy job. Very nice color by the way.

Very realistic. That the fate of old Fords. I really like the rust streaks.

Made this thing from awful Lindberg kit. Paints used: Tamiyan Gold Leaf, Zero blue with added gold flake. On top, Tamiya clear coat. Engine changes: -Resin McCullogh supercharger -New waterlines from 1mm silver wire and shrink tube -Edelbrock heads from Revell -2mm aluminium wire for exhaust Chassis changes: -Original front axle drilled and modified -Scratchbuild shocks, leaf springs and brackets Interior changes: -Racing seat -Rollcage -Steering wheel and gearstick

Seems like 1/32 Smer kit, but with engine. I'm building one too, with 1/32 Hispano-Suiza engine from Roden.

Well, it has to be a street car, because it has licence plates

Just paint. Alclad chrome on bottom. Then Tamiya clear yellow and orange and a mix of alclad red and blue to get purple color.
