Subaru 360, Hasegawa 1/24

[Dr King Schultz]

 

Here's another Japanese beater - Subaru 360, built box stock. This is my second build ever. I used the Hasegawa kit, which impressed me very much. Great quality plastic parts, everything fits together nicely. Only the front suspension is slightly loose, but I could live with that. Paint is Molotow Belton Premium spray can.  Rust made using the maskol method. 

Thanks for looking!

Looks great, the rusting is very realistic.

All that closeness to the seawater didn't do it any favors, huh? Terrific little bugger!

Such a sad looking little car. But that is what you were going for. Great ageing on the body and paint.

Interesting. I didn't know that anybody made a kit of the 360. Just in last couple of days I've been reading about Malcom Bricklin and his Bricklin SV1. And there is no way one can talk about Bricklin without someone bring up his importing of Subaru 360s into the US in the late 1960's. An odd little car. It would fun to drive one, just to see if they are as bad as everybody said they were.

Cool!

Many thanks!

In fact, the car is very tiny, on 1/24 scale it's only 5 inches long.

In my opinion, it's not sad at all ?

Awesome paint job King! Great subject and photography (love the background setting). You nailed it!

Nice work on the weathering, especially if that's only your second model.
