Built last year, paint is Zero base and Tamiya clear, the interior is the kit's rubbery black vinyl, unpainted. This is the simpler re-issue with some PE parts from the HiTech version. (I couldn't deal with the wierd chassis in the HiTech version with its PE box-section frame that you had to fold into shape. Nein danke! But the PE wire wheels were very nice).

The grill is from a tea strainer and the tiny snaps on the upper doors are chrome decals from Global Toy in China. These are great! Easier to use than PE, more chrome-like and they don't have that hard edge that PE usually has. There are also several very nice Ferarri sets in different scales.

I sprayed the chrome steel wheels (the hubcaps are seperate pieces) with two light coats of Tamiya matt clear which produced exactly the finish I'd hoped for. And I added a more realistic exhaust pipe.

A very nice looking TIred Rabbit. :)

I have a 1:1 '63 TR4 that will get built in 1/32 scale due to a lack of 1/25 scale kits.

I had a neighbor when I was a kid that stood six foot six. He drove one of these and had plenty of room for his head with the top up. Very nice build. I really like it.
