hobbyfella Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) As a first issue, as many of their issues I bought almost everything Model Factory Hiro made. I was a huge fan of Alex Kustov, builders back then who got these kits and went for it. Since then the Japanese builders have taken these to another level. this is one of those…. My favorite car of all time. unfortunately this and a shell is all I was left with. A box and body, literally…. I had the body, but no guts, so I started in. mind you please I just dug this out of a box, my brass work is a bit old. It’ll need some touch up.

hobbyfella Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) I sold off a lot of my collection and kind of quit building for a while. I sold a couple high end kits on eGive and they reached out to me afterwards. We ended up becoming friends and I wanted to start building again.

hobbyfella Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Here’s the low down dirty picture! All I was left with was the body. I made the hood, doors, boot and scoop. the rear trunk was a mother f78ck3r! I think I did this six times!!! still isn’t right, compared to the last five, it’s close!

hobbyfella Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) All hand hammer pounded, rounded, welded with hinges. Their all too big, I’ll take them all off and replace them. Edited October 1, 2022 by hobbyfella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
