Abarth A112 Fujimi Beater

[oldcarfan]

I'm taking a break from my Cannonball entry this week, but not from building. I took on two four day projects simultaneously and finished them within an hour of each other. First is this Fujimi Abarth A112. Its based on the rat rod style popular in Europe and England and is my first try at building a true beater. A lot of my builds look like beaters, but this is the first one done on purpose. LOL The weathering is mostly Tamiya Panel Liner and craft paints. I reused the roof rack from a 1/43rd Walmart toy truck and loaded it up homemade driving lights and a cargo load with a cooler and some Tamiya 1/35th scale army covered gear. The wheels and tires come from a 1/32nd Welly Alfa Romeo and the decals are parts box and a few homemade. 

These cars are truly tiny. The A112 is a fun curbside kit but it's smaller than even a Beetle.
