Dazzler041 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Well, my first post on the site and on the work bench. Its been a while since I crafted any models and used hang out on a different site called Escale, so this one is pretty much going to be an OB build. statrted with the basic engine build, but first a box shot and instructions, Edited April 3, 2018 by Dazzler041 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBLNG Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Cool! I will be watching this one closely. I bought a partially assembled Revell version at a flea market that I have yet to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler041 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Awesome, some of the differences are, the intake manifolds, air intakes on the engine, the lights are pop up and not fixed on the Tamiya models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabbricaP Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Will be following closely. Is this the Hasegawa kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler041 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi FabbricaP, no it’s a Tamiya kit some additional engine work completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoRover007 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I’ve always wanted to get this kit but I was never a fan of the one side mirror up high in the driver side. I wish the kit came with an option for two regular style side mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzler041 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Thought I’d go with this as the body colouring, most tend to with Rosso corsa red, but I decided to go Giallo Modena yellow instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
