Hasegawa 72 Toyota Celica Road Racer- Out of the Box

[Art Laski]

Finished this one up. It took two months, but I don't really have many hours in it. It was nice to get something done quickly. I stuck to building it out of the box, but if I had another one, there are a few things I would do, starting with cutting out the side windows. They obscure a lot of the interior detail.

Thanks for looking!

Very Nice Celica! I'm fan of these old Toyotas and this looks really nice. Paint job looks perfect. Nice Job! Btw When I looked this one first time I thought that first pic is from 1:1 car.

Thanks, George! Actually, the "deck" is really a piece of scrapbooking paper with a photo of wood tacked to piece of foam core board. I thought it would look decent as a deck in scale. I was looking to see if they had some cobblestone type pattern or even brick, but no luck.

Great looking model. Big fan of early Japanese stuff.

Thanks! Me too...
