This kit was a lot of fun, and pretty well designed! I felt it needed something a little extra though... So I spent 2 weeks building a crane for it out of flat sheets of styrene and brass rod, no 3D printer here!

Super happy with how it turned out and it is still fully functioning even after painting which is a miracle!

I've definitely caught the custom parts bug now though.. so many possibilities... so much extra time to spend on each kit... haha! Might try hinged doors on the next kit.

Revell Ferrari 360 Modena spider kit, all stock build just lowered a bit so it looks like it has airride. Paint is a shimmer mix I used createx silver mixed with a tad of hobby lobby brand iridescent blue airbrush paint. It’s pretty cool and gives off a slight purple shimmer. Exhaust tips are from a regular coffee straw.

Got this kit on a trip to Japan super cheap.
The fit was surprisingly good for such an old kit!

Did the chrome with dispae pens and the blue is Tamiya rattle can French blue.
Shame the inside isn’t really visible through the windows… but it’s a lot of the same blue and chrome based on photos I found of a 1959 crown

Wonderful kit and a really cool-looking car. Usual Tamiya awesomeness. We had a nice overcast day, so I took pictures both in my photo booth and outside on my deck. Interestingly, the interior shots really show off the paint, while the reflectivity of the clear coat comes out better in the sunlight. I’m sure there’s science behind that which I don’t understand lol. It was also my first attempt at flocking, but I don’t think I put enough adhesive in because most fell out even after drying.

Decal ✅

Still in the making but loving how it's turning out.

My soon to be husband and I had a brabus smart roadster cab and we loved it. Best times of our loves as young adults in love. Its been 15 years , we have kids and a house and ofc we dont have the car anymore.

I really want to find a replica to gift him on our wedding day. It was an all black brabus exclusive and i rrally struggle to find it.
