Always enjoy building these kits from Aoshima. 

I chose to build my own version using some of the optional parts from the kit and used these wheels.

I had some issues with paint work and after stripping the paint decided to go a different route and do a rusty styled build for a change. So I dedicate this build to Dr Cranky an old forum friend who loved his rust.

Work in progress 

Opened up the molded in grill detail and replaced with photo etch mesh.

I 3D printed the engine and scratch built the bay building upon the chassis plate inner guards.

As per usual on my over fender builds, Top Studio rivets were used.

Hopefully the professor approves of the amount of pictures and the angles they were taken.🤣

I tell you what Luke, it sure is a departure from your normal over the top builds but I think it turned out Great looking.  That 3D printed engine in the business end looks Super nice dude.  Job well done 👍
