ismaelg Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Hello, My first model car of the year a.k.a. Slump-Buster. Tamiya kits are such a joy to build! Nothing spectacular here. Pretty much box stock with added fuel lines in the chassis, half shafts boots, seatbelts and its hardware, sun visors with opened mirror in the driver's side visor, home made license plate and insection sticker, aluminum exhaust tips and aftermarket wheels with added valve stems. I made the radio antenna but it is so ugly in its stock location (over the rear tire's flare) I may not use it. Enough talking. Here is "The Canary" What do you think? Your comments are appreciated. Thanks,
lordairgtar Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Very nice car. I like best the under side detailing you did.
Harry P. Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Very nice! It could almost pass for real. Almost...
ffreak Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 WOW, drop dead gorgeous is what i'd say !!!!! Excellent paint work. What brand and name of paint did you use? Love it. Danny
Foxer Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Razor sharp build and great lighting. Looks fantastic!

Brendan Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Ismael, This is a Nissan, not a Corvette. Very nicely done. Beautiful job on the paint. Scale Finishes?

ismaelg Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Thank you all for the nice comments. Sorry I forgot to mention the paint is from Scalefinishes. Thanks,

mcandela Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Hey, very nice! Now for the $64,000 question, When are You doing a FORD?? Te veo!! Mike.
Raul_Perez Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 WOW!! That yellow is so bright that I had to readjust my monitor!! Too cool!! Thanks for sharing,
ismaelg Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 How did you change the offset on the front wheels? Aren't those the Aoshima Kranz? Yes, those are Aoshima Kranz. The chrome rings were very carefully sliced in half. The offset will change depending on how much you slice off. I did try to machine my own rings but the attempt was a total failure. Thanks all for the comments! Thanks,
FujimiLover Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 WOW! Very nice! One of the best yellow's so far!
