Funkychiken Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Sorry if there's too many pics here, but I love this build! It was mosly completed over the last half of last year, it took up a lot of my free time over Christmas, but alas it couldn't be completed before year end. It got fully finished a few weeks ago, I didn't like the photos, I was going to get more pics with a contrasting background, but can't be bothered for now I'm posting these! there is a WIP post too if your interested. A great kit, well engineered (as many people commented on my topic in the WIP section) goes together really well. I probably should have glued the side/skits on prior to painting, but I was too focused on the wheel areas which you can't see anyway... you live & learn
Nacho Z Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Wow! Very nice. This is such a clean build. You’ve captured it well with the great photos. One thing that I really like is the nice, clean panel lines. They just catch my eye.
Matt Bacon Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Lovely job. I’ve heard people say that this the best 1/24 car kit ever made, and in your hands it looks it. Tricky colour scheme to photograph, but you’ve done it justice. I’d love to figure out how to reproduce those Mike Zumbrunn pics of the real thing, beautifully lit in a black studio, at this scale, but I haven’t got it yet! best, M.
Madhatter Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Wow - this would be the best example I have seen of this kit yet. And it's not red! I really like this and have come back twice now to look at it. Really great work
bbowser Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I agree with all of the above, outstanding work. White is unusual but it suits.
Gramps46 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Color choice really sets this build apart which is very well done.
Tommy124 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Excellent result, Atin! Nice photos too... On 9.3.2019 at 11:52 PM, Matt Bacon said: Lovely job.

Let's quote Alex Kustov on that: "Verdict: This kit is the one about which you can say "Its perfect in every way". Its pure pleasure to assemble this one, and it builds into a very true to the original, highly detailed model straight from the box, without any additional detailing. Tamiya beats its own quality standard with this one - IMO its one of the best Tamiya models on the market today." (http://italianhorses.net/Gallery/Tamiya/Tam3602/3602.htm)

Jim N Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 You should be proud of this one. It looks fabulous!

Slimguy Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Can't have too many pictures of this beauty. Agree, panel lines are very nice. I am a new builder, just one year into the hobby, and panel lines are on my list to learn this year. If I can do them half as well as you have I would be pleased with myself.
89AKurt Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Clean build! I think the neutral white background works nicely with this. If it was dark, the contrast might wash out details.
tkzwolf Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 The black wheels looks great with the white. Very sharp build. I built one last year and its a great kit.
