Message I have some touching up to do to the trim and then resand it more and then polish it, as well as a few minor things here and there.

My opinions about the kit are that it's definately a higher level of skill required, as the directions are VERY vague. The fitment of the doors, t tops, and exhaust are absolutely terrible. I will figure something out though. The engine looks almost like mine (on purpose, obviously).

The weight of the finished product is 9lb, 9oz and it is about 16" - 18" long. Since it is a "japan" model, there are no TT rear wheels on it (I so wish it did though).


While gluing the shell to the chassis on my separate table I had set up for it, my cat (stupid cat) knocked it off onto the carpet, breaking the driver side A pillar (you can see it in the picts a little bit)...just another thing I still need to do.


Anyway, here it is. Not 100% perfect yet, but it's getting there. I've spent about 30 hours on it in the past 2 weeks.

Hasegawa 1/12 in the middle, Corgi 1:43 on left, Tamiya 1/24 on right.

And on a side note, I got my tattoo touched up today and it looks MUUUUCH better, and just needs to heal now.

No, it's not upside down, and yes, I need to get my 6 ft 7, 290lb ass to the Gym. (Sorry, the mirror is FILTHY! I need to CLEAN it)
