Brudda Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 A 1/10 scale Toyota 2000 GT. DeAgostini kit. Was white but changed the color to twilight turquoise. Automotive water based base coat with a urethane clear. Hope you like. PS it will not let me load more pics. Sorry
Brudda Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 More pics!!! My daughter figured it out for me. Hope you like. PS my daughter or 15
peteski Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Nice! I like white cars but the color you chose is also very pretty. Edited July 3, 2018 by peteski
bbowser Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 That interior looks ready to get in and go! Great model. Good thing we have the kids around to show us how all this tech stuff works
sjordan2 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Wow. That’s spectacular. The only other pictures I’ve seen make this kit look like there’s lots of flash and fit problems.
Brudda Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 Thank you guys! There was only a couple of fit issues. The doors needed the mounting holes enlarged so you could float the doors for adjustment. The headlights needed fitting. But other than that it was a great kit . This was fun. My Ferrari P4 is a challenge!!! White metal and fit issues everywhere. But it is a very detailed kit and if you can stay with it, it turns out great. Thanks again for the nice comments
Brudda Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 PS I will have some glamor pics of the car this weekend. My friend Mark is the DeAgostini rep. He wants to take a lot of pics for the company. You guys will see them here first.
Riverview Hobbies Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Nice job... and certainly a subject you don't see every day. Make sure you put some floor mats down before you climb in there and drive off... Edited July 8, 2018 by Riverview Hobbies
peteski Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Sweet! Looks like it is ready to be driven away! But can you fix that single rotated lens in the backup lights? Close-up photos are very unforgiving. Edited July 9, 2018 by peteski
Brudda Posted July 9, 2018 Author Posted July 9, 2018 Thank you for the eyes on the rear lens peteski. More eyes are always better! I will try to correct this problem. I did not even notice it. Thanks again!
Brudda Posted July 9, 2018 Author Posted July 9, 2018 Thank all of you for the great comments. And peteski for the help.

Brudda Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 Just put the seatbelts in . The roof and dash are just sitting there for fitting. MFH kits have to be fit. I have put together and taken this kit apart a lot. Hard to explain but the kit moves around when you add parts. So always fitting.
Brudda Posted September 9, 2018 Author Posted September 9, 2018 The Toyota took first place factory stock, best automotive subject and Best of Show at the Reno IPMS show. Thank you Mark for the great gift and support on the Toyota. It is very hard to receive Best of Show for a car at a IPMS event. The aircraft , armor and navel subjects were out standing. I guess luck was with me this time. Here she is and thank you Reno for the awards.
Brudda Posted September 9, 2018 Author Posted September 9, 2018 P.S. thank you peteski for the correction on the tailamp. That would have been seen by the judges.
GeeBee Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Absolutely superb build, Can't really add to what everyone had already said.....
