Nitto 1/28 Shiden

This started as a race car, I am trying to make what would look like a kit car. Model will be built curbside. Rims and tires are from a 1/32 Jada die cast.

Amazing thing is that this was an actual race car by the Mooncraft racing team that took part in races at the Fuji Speedway in the predecessor to the Japanese Sports Prototype Championship. It was powered first by a BMW four cylinder and then later by a Mazda rotary. It wasn't hugely successful but it was wild looking. Mooncraft would also later rebody a Riley Daytona Prototype and run it as an entrant in the Super GT series.

I have this kit kit built stock right from the box many  many  years ago.  Burt this is a very cool concept. I will be watching.

That is awesome. I love the look of it. What are you using for chassis and interior?

Kit  parts for the interior and modified the front suspension slightly to lower it otherwise all parts a kit.
