After failing to finish the first Cannonball Run across the USA in a Subaru, Engineer Jackie Chan joins with Mitsubishi to race a Starion in the second race. Features like turbo boost and underwater navigation, the Mitsubishi is put through its paces in this epic race across the USA. The model i built about 10 years ago from the Fujimi kit. it features a computerized interior, custom decals and rocket boost rear bumper. I recently printed out some more accurate rims to finish the look.

I got a 3d model of a bust of Jackie and a figure of the Stig. i cut off the stig's helmet in 3D studio Max and printed the parts in resin. the figure was painted in white with a hand-painted Mitsubishi logo.

I didn't like the stance, so i moved the front axle to a higher hole in the front DSCF9186 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF9185 by aus_mus, on Flickr

I picked up this promo already built kit that had been painted. All the paint had cracked so i stripped it off and rebuilt it.

Nice build. i hope Revell or AMT will tool up one of these soon

Here's one i used, now called "Oven and BBQ cleaner". I bought a cake container and sprayed it. left for 24 hours and it came out 99%. i think it depends on the type of paint and how old it is. DSCF9128 by aus_mus, on Flickr

Sorry. any excuse to bring up my build DSCF9132 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF9134 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF9135 by aus_mus, on Flickr

real pretty. nice job

Nice build. it's good to see one factory mine was the old 'street hemi' which could not be done stock. Mine is still awaiting restoration: ? DSCF9136 by aus_mus, on Flickr

I've noticed my LHS had very low stock of all tamiya paints and glues over the past year. they only just got a bunch of stock in.

nice. good re-build

that's some quality weathering
