Another die-cast modded ;) Faaaar away from being perfect, but it'll do as a dust-catcher ;)

The base for this is a Bburago Corvette pace car snap-kit in 1:24 which I got as a gift a few years ago. I've had no problems with the mods, but the paint on the body gave me a few slaps during the build. Flat silver with graphics - didn't work out. Flat black with a wannabe checker flag airbrush over it - didn't work out. I ended up with Model master chrome silver on it and left it flat on purpose ;)

The mods are mostly done inside the car (roll-cage, stripped interior, seatbelt, ...) and on the undercarriage (Tamiya Porsche 911 GT wheels, brake discs and calipers from a plastic Corvette donor kit, removed the "Bburago" emblems, ...). The body itself is mostly box-stock.

The WIP can be seen here. It's in slovene so feel free to ask anything you want to know about it ;)

A few shots of the finished build:

It hardly deserves words of praise, so let the curses and dislikes fly... :lol:

I think these kinds of diecasts (or kiosk diecasts, as I like to call them) are toys for kids not so much for adults to collect them.

:lol: ^AWESOME^ :lol:

But as for modifying it, looks pretty good. Thumbs up for making a turd less of a turd!
