Scale-Master Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I picked up this kit in 97 or 98, Im not sure how rare it is now, but I havent been able to find another one. The decals were the main reason I bought it, I wanted to build the version that the kit built. Sadly the decals were too brittle to be saved by even two coats of clear before application, so I had to make replacements for just about all of them. A few of the smaller sponsor decals were usable. The color called out in the instructions was not the traditional blue, and it was also stated to be metallic so I used Tamiya Deep Metallic Blue. Its 1/43rd scale.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 That's beautiful, especially considering it's 1/43. Clean, clean, clean.
Speedfreak Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Great job. The body shape on that car is very unique, looks very thin and long in some of the photos.
Scale-Master Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks guys!It is the long tail version of the F1 GTR, so it does look sleeker and leaner than the more common short tail, like the street version.
J Morrison Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Very nice build of a cool car. Even though the blue & yellow stand out on their own yours eyes, well mine at least, were always drawn to those bright red mirrors. Easy to pick it out of a crowd on the track while zipping by at 150+mph
508boricua Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 That looks awesome! didn't know they made them in such small scale.
Nacho Z Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Amazing clean build Mark, even more so when you consider it is 1:43 scale.
Scale-Master Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 It's a curbside. No engine or bay. The interior was one piece plus a steering wheel. Remember it's only about 4 inches long...
DynoMight Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Great job Mark! That is a really dark blue, almost black...
Scale-Master Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks guys. I think it looks darker in the photos that in person. The color on the hood in second to the last photo is more how I see it on my end.
Maxicoop Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 that looks awesome !!!!! great lookin' details !!! fantastic build !!!
