StanGlover Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Here’s my build of Academy’s 1975 Hyundai Pony. My daily driver is a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, so when I discovered this kit I absolutely had to paint it to match my 1:1 car! The kit is designed to assemble without any painting so I left everything but the body and seats/door cards in bare plastic. I did zero prep work to the body, just a coat of Tamiya Fine gray primer and two coats of TS-13 Gloss Aluminum. Seats and door cards are just Tamiya Fine Gray primer. This was a super fun quick build, everything fit perfectly with zero flash or fiddling. Hyundai sure has come a long way in the past 45+ years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanGlover Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Before I chucked the box, I ran it through Google Translate. Pretty cool technology! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha she is in the parts box not assembled. Figurines not really my thing, but if I ever do a diorama I’ll add her to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Great to see another one built, despite you saying it was a just a quick build it still looks really good. Certainly eye-opening to see where Hyundai have got to since the Pony! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
