Danno Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Most excellent! Dare I say, exquisite!?! No doubt the finest scale replica rendition of the Ala Kart I've ever had the pleasure to see! Outstanding work, Phil. [This baby needs to be in the Replica category of the dscV17!] ??
echo Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 It's nice to see that you took the time to fabricate and make the model more realistic and closely replicate the real car. Your building skills are excellent, it is a very nice model that you should proudly display with the poster from the Rodder's Journal.

I'm sure many of us have thought of doing something similar in the years since the new tool kit came out. But you actually pulled it off. Kuddos Rear tires look great, BTW ? Thanks - Spacers behind the rear white walls really make a difference. 51 minutes ago, Danno said: Most excellent! Dare I say, exquisite!?!

Thanks Ed - I still have two Rodder's Journal poster cars to build. Just started on the Hirohata Merc.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 All your extra effort really paid off. This is one of the best renditions of the real car I've ever seen. In particular, your narrowing of the axles to get the stance right, and the replacement of the pleated upholstery really make a huge difference. The improvement from the engine swap goes without saying. Very nice work, sir.
