peekay Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) 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. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki ] Edited August 4, 2017 by peekay
Draggon Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Wow that is outstanding. I love it. Impeccable workmanship! As an aside, I've also got some decals from Global Toy, very good stuff!
58 Impala Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Wow. I've looked at your last several posts, you do some very clean model building. Your paint jobs are flawless. Nice work.
blunc Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 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.
Neil Bass Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Aw, that's nice. One of my favorite cars very well done! Love the tea strainer; I have to remember that one!!
Matt T. Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Nice! Great build of a good-looking automobile.
Erik Smith Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Great model. I really like the finishes you achieve on the paint jobs.
Greg Wann Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 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.
jaydar Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I love it. Reminds me of my brother-in-laws TR 3a. It was red. joe.
Dyno Davo Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I've fallen in love with this little car, it's so cute
