Spottedlaurel Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Just finished this one, WIP thread here: Aoshima kit I've had in the stash for few years now, along with a set of their Volk Mesh accessory wheels. Painted with grey automotive primer, Tamiya TS-21 Gold and TS-13 clear. Suspension lowered using parts supplied in the kit. It actually has some fairly basic springing along with provision for a motor and lighting. It is somewhat toy-like so I tried my best to create an effective kerbside build which will look good on the shelf and complement my other Japanese kits. 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Finished it way too late to get outdoor shots, I'll try and take some soon so for now it's had a quick photoshoot amongst my wife's pot collection: 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Aoshima Nissan Cedric 330 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Despite my fondness for the 1:1 car it took me a while to get into it. The bodyshell has a slight distortion around the back end (also apparent in a newer issue I bought recently) and because of how the major styling elements like the front grille fit together it's eventual look and identity was difficult to see until final assembly and detailing took place. Now it's done I think it nicely captures the heavy, stylised look of the real thing and it's something I'd happily have in my garage. Thanks for looking.
doorsovdoon Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 That looks beautiful. I like the cream and coffee interior, very nice. Good car in it's day but rusted like mad.
VanSpence Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 I love how this turned out. You did a fantastic job. What a great looking car.
Spottedlaurel Posted November 1, 2020 Author Posted November 1, 2020 Thanks everyone! Not a day for outside photography today, weather was a bit rough and I was concentrating on finishing off another build. This one is now in the cabinet and sits well alongside my other Japanese cars.
