m3fan Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This was a fun build from Model Factory Hiro. Paint is Tamiya mica silver spray w/ Tamiya clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Killer job. You're one of the few modelers of this kit that I've seen put in an accurate red interior and open the air vents on the nose. I wonder, though, if the white steering wheel rim wouldn't indicate that it should have banjo steering wheel spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3fan Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks Skip, I found very little reference and what I did find was not color. As for the steering wheel I think it should be the banjo style but I didn't want to rob one from a Fujimi kit. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've never seen it done with the red, very interesting! I live about an hour away from James Dean's home town of Fairmount, Indiana. Nice job on the model Russell, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoneer81 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm closer than Ron to Fairmount, it's only 6 miles up the road... I've seen many replicas of this car in scale and in 1:1 and about half have the red body stripes. Looking at some vintage pics, I see that yours is accurate. Such a good looking car!!!.
