Fiat 500 Abarth

[martinfan5]

Here is Fujimi's Fiat 500 Abarth kit, it is a pretty simple kit, no real fit issues other the one piece window, I cut a section out , and cut the rear window off , and that made the fit perfect. I used Tamiya light green , had some issues with the CF decal on the hood. I manage to break both of the windscreen wipers, and then lost the rear one, so I guess its a good thing this is a model and cant be driven in the rain. I also lowered the ride height

This was another GT5 car, here is a pic of what I was shooting for, please not that the in game car is not the Abarth version

Looks amazing....love the color and also love the little Fiat lol...good job on this build

also I noticed on your WIP thread this was a GT5 build. I finally got another copy of GT5 and was able to retrieve Fiat I had on there...pretty close to the same thing here..just a little lighter green....

Thank you, I dont remember what color hue I used, I just remember when I did it, I was just trying to make it as ugly as I could

Cool build...

Cool - you might still be able to get that decal to sit down with some micro sol if it isn't cleared over.

What cute little car. Nice clean build. Looks like all it needs is a handle on the roof to carry it around.

Is this the car you drive, or an example of your Photoshop work? I'm confused.

GT5 = Gran Turismo 5. It's a video game.

Who needs wipers? Treat the glass with Rain-X and just drive fast.

Came out pretty well- I think if I'd built it I'd have gotten a bit lazy and skipped the CF.

[Scuderia]

Looks real cool can't tell there's no wipers. My supra was slightly incomplete so its sans-wipers as well. Stuff happens lol

Tim, I like it, if you can find a FIat 500 kit, go for it, I would love to see it

Thank you guys, if I can find some solvent , I might be able to get rid of the wrinkles, I did not clear over the CF decal, any tips on how I can go about doing it?

I love your work. I better get cracking on something.

So homely it's cute. Nice job.

Cracking little pocket rocket, very well built. Just a pointer, the car is obviously running with UK plates so the rear one should be yellow. Brilliant build though.!
