Finished this one this morning. This is the first kit I've actually finished in about 15 years. I started it about ten years ago and then it went on the shelf until recently when I got back into the hobby.

Started life as a Revell "Street Fighter Two" kit. This was sort of a test-bed for some different techniques I wanted to try out. Mods include opening the hood (originally it's a flip-front end), lowering the front and rear suspension, shaving the roof ribs, and filling in the sun-roof and hood vents.

As a side note, this is also the first time I've tried my hand at any sort of real photography. Pics came out so-so I guess. Better than I usually do.

I'm always interested in improving my abilities, so any constructive critisism (about the car or the pics) is more than welcome.

Enjoy!

VERY nicely done mate, the street fighter kit has a lot of potential i think, and you found it.

This is a proof that these kits can be turned very nice with some extra work. I'm planning to build one of these too with some upgrades and yours is a great inspiration. Fantastic work with that paint, I know black is really hard to get right, but this looks spot on. Good looking engine and chassis too, even if they are pretty simple in the kit. I really like the overall look, even if the wheels and tires are not my favorites.

Hmm. This makes me rethink this whole kit. Mine's been half built for a decade too because I didn't like my choices but didn't know where to go with it. Nice work.
