Opel Calibra Euro. racer

[1320wayne]

Here is a build that I did a few years back. Actually, I built this one about 7 or 8 years ago and after seeing it sitting on the shelf for so long, about three years back I stripped the body and did something different.

This started out as a Tamiya kit (boxed under the UT Models name) with a Keke Rosburg paint scheme. I wasn't really fond of the blue, white and yellow scheme, even though that's how I built it, so after so many years I stripped the body and went with a phantom race car paint scheme.

The kit is built out of the box. Not much to see once it's finally assembled, regarding any added paint detail. Most of the suspension is hidden inside the full length belly pan and all of the nice paint detail that I did inside can't really be seen once the glass is installed and body is in place.

It's a nice kit, even though it's way out in left field from my usual builds. I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone from time to time and build something that just sparks my interest.

Nice job Wayne!

I'll bet the 1:1 would actually fly down the strip
