Shelby 427 1965 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Well, to continue on with my rally theme... This build was done in a day, as a challenge to myself to see if I could manage a passable build in a day, which I think I (mostly) achieved.. it's a little rough around the edges (like the window rubbers.. don't even start me!) and sits a little high at the back but hey I'm happy with it. Kit is the Tamiya road version, so I took two bucket seats from the parts box, along with hood pins from a Tamiya Evo VI Rally Car. Wheels and suspension are from Tamiya's Evo VII kit, which surprisingly fit straight on.. I was pretty surprised. Colour is Ford Colorado Red, and the decals are a mix match from the parts box, but mainly come from a Tamiya Toyota GT-One TS020. Rear windows have me and my other friend's name too. He got jealous of my other friend having his name on the Micra believe it or not, so I had to get him on this one So anyways, here it is! The stable's getting more and more full... All comments much appreciated! Edited August 13, 2014 by Shelby 427 1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Why not try and clean up the window rubber? Try using a small brush and some of the paint you used on the body to touch up a few of the messy spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Will that work? I had no idea how spray paint would take to being applied with a brush so I didn't want to chance it.. If that would work you'll have saved my bacon on a LOT of builds! Hahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Looks good. spray some of the paint into a liitle bottle or somthing then use a toothpick to fix the trim. nice jopb on the tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Pretty impressive build for one day Tomo, nice one mate ! These GT4s were quite potent in their time and were not cheap if you wanted to buy the road going version, the misses and I searched high and low here in Australia for one and the majority of the ones we found all had a hard life and needed serious work.......so she settled for the SXR Celica...
