avidinha Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I built this from the Aoshima kit. I made the door panels out of sheet styrene and aluminum bmf to replicate the sheet metal interior of the real car and made the steering column out of styrene rod. This was a simple kit and was fun to build. I'm really happy with how it turned out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Nice Kenmari Skyline Andrew…I built an Aoshima Kenmari a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it too. I like your “Works” version, I went with a modified stock look with mine. The baby blue paint suits this car well. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this kit had 3 grills, 3 tail light panels, 2 sets of mirrors, 2 sets of seats, extra speakers and stereos and a bunch of other stuff.

Sorry, no wip pics, but here's a video of the real car so you can at least see what I was going for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching the video, I now know what an extraordinarily good job you did of capturing/replicating the real car. I have got to keep my out for that Aoshima kit! Great model of yours Andrew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually one of those former motorized toy kits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few of the more recent Aoshima kits and they are well detailed. When I think of kits that had their origins as motorized models, it usually means they have simplified chassis detail. Is the kit you built the one shown in the Youtube video at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it's curbside with very simplified chassis. Yes, it's the kit at the end of the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
