THarrison351 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 This was a super easy build. It's a curbside designed for slotcar racing. I should have deepened all the panel lines. It's 1/24 scale, has probably 40 pieces in the kit including the parts for the slotcar conversion. It captures the look though. One big change I made was the wheels. the originals looked marginal. many years ago I built a Fujimi Porsche 356 and I kept the leftover wheels and brakes. Parts box tires look OK. Used a gold gel pen for the lettering. looks purple in the light. Four parts for the interior. I added some generic gauge decals. Not much here. This paint was unfortunately hotter than I hoped, it ate right through the Tamiya White primer. Not the first textured model I've finished. Mocked up in about an hour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I know that it is a simple model but you did a really good job and the car really captures the lines of the 904. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
