This is my final entry inot my local hobby shops small scale challenge. Once again this was a kit I would not have gone out of my way to buy. It was gifted to me and rather than sell it, why not build it and add to the collection as was originally intended. As it turns out it was a fun project and happened rather quickly. Color on this is Tamiya LP48 Metallic black and Lp-33 gray green for the accent color. Interior was Tamiya XF-60 dark yellow. More comments below the picture captions.\ Finished car on its wheels. This photo wqas taken out side and the wind kept blowing the figures over. Had to break out my figure paint skills and paints of this one. The dog is a German short haired pionter BTW. Rear veiw had lots of detail. I accidentally three the sprue containing the gas cap in the garbage. I found the sprue but when I went to retrieve it the cap fell off. It and a lot of these pieces are incredibly tiny. Its a miracle it made it on the model. If you have ever had to scrounge through the garbage for a lost part...you just might be a modeler. Interior had lots of detail and put my fine painting skills to the test. dash is painted the accent color of the car. Sun shades are clear green and are what is casting that green spot of the drive train hump. It was a nice sunny day. Kit had several options for the top and doors. This is the door closed with the top up. there was also an option for a folding top (non working ) This side veiw. Photographs don't show the actual size of the car but 1/48 scale is small and this car is only 4 1/2 long. But it came in a box 25 times the size of the car. It was cute and will slide in nicely in my BMW section.
