It’s finally done kids! I have made this Vette before, so it’s built different than the other one.
The black/red color came out really nice!! Thoughts?

1st time try 2k.. this is the 2nd go as I wasn't happy with how sanding and polishing results turned out after the 1st go.

base coat is kaleido hibiscus purple,

2k is upol and used a 0.5 Mobius,

happy with it now. This was just a test body before going on to a more important kit. But I guess I should build the chassis and interior and finish it now.

Couldn't decide how to paint this one, so I went with a fully rusted roadster instead.
Very impressed with AK Interactive's Ultra Matt varnish, worked great through the airbrush and even just brushed on.

I followed a tutorial by 'MARS GARAGE' on YouTube for the body rust.

- Custom exhaust headers made from 2mm solder wire.
- Custom headlight bar.
- Added radiator supports.

This one took a little longer than a weekend build but I’m happy with the results. Pretty easy kit just the rear spoiler was a bit of a pain to put together. Paint is Createx Pearl Blue, interior is my own custom mix to get that dark leather look, wheels where dipped for 3 hours in LA’s totally awesome cleaner so it took the chrome plate off without damaging the actual wheels.

Finally finished my Tamiya 1/20 Honda RA272, winner of the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix!

Really enjoyed this build, especially working on the beautiful V12 engine. Had a few challenges along the way, including some decal disasters that required repainting the nose and rebuilding the number 11.

Not perfect, but I’m really happy with how it turned out! Decided to leave the engine cover off to show off that V12.

Thanks for looking! Feedback is always welcome!

QUESTION Looking for a 1994 Ford Ranger model

1 Upvotes

Hey yall, im not too big of a model or car person, but my dad is. In our family we used to have a white 1994 ford ranger truck that was passed down from my grandpa, to my dad, then to my brother. Unfortunately, my brother crashed this truck and totalled it (everyone was okay). My dad loved this truck, so I was wondering if yall knew any models of it that I could buy him for christmas.

Thanks

This kit reminded me a lot of the older nascar kits with its roll cage and engine placement. I wasn’t thinking and used the wrong type of glue on the headlights but otherwise I think it came together nicely.

I’ve heard horror stories about Italeri kits and this one in particular and it was… okay. The doors took a little bit of adjusting to fit correctly and fitting the decals around the doors and air intakes was a bit painful, but the rest of the kit was so simple that it went together easily.
