empinut Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Airtrax Resin Body, bumpers and door panels. BRM white metal wheels from Dennis Chung ( no longer available). Engine tin and sheet metal scratchbuilt. Back seat rear area scratchbuilt. Engine from Hasegawa, chassis and front suspension from Tamiya Ghia. Trans and rear suspension scratchbuilt from early Pyro Bug. Blue is a Tamiya AS medium blue clear coated. Photoetch wipers, nose emblem and rear lid button. Many hours prepping the resin body and bumpers as pinholes would pop up at every turn. Thanks for looking, comments.

empinut Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for all of the kind words and nice comments! I'm the final stages of finishing the AirTrax T3 Notchback. Pics up soon. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Nice work! makes me wish I had the money and patience for a resin kit. Coincidentally, it looks just like the last two I've seen. Saw one on an auto transporter in Fontana, and some guy in my city has one. Always see him in the early morning on the way to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Very cool model, I've always liked those. Back when I was a kid and lived on an army post in Germany, our next door neighbor had one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
