Mitsubishi 3000 GT (w/ some modifications...)

[Tommy124]

Hi guys,

I built this old Tamiya kit that was in my stash for some 30-odd years. The body was lowered significantly and the wheels were replaced with 19 inch Advan wheels from Aoshima. Made my own exhausts too!

Geez, that looks great. Nice paint. Good choice of wheels. Car reminds me of the Dodge Stealth.

That's because the Dodge Stealth IS a Mitsubishi!

Good Ol' badge engineering.

Thomas, beautiful work on a beautiful car! I always loved the lines of the 3000GT (and even its slightly less favored brethren - Dodge Stealth RT). I owned two of them and drove them a hundred thousand miles each, and loved every minute! I don't recall this color being offered, but looks absolutely boss. The only thing that made the car look dated was the rim and tire combo, which left a lot of wheel well showing. You of course addressed it perfectly by dropping the stance and upping the diameters. Well done Sir!

She's a looker in gray! Very appealing finish, and clean build make me wish I had an extra hand to give it three thumbs-up!

Nice build! Looks the part! Me and a friend built that kit long ago with a engine from the Dodge. It’s floating here on the forum some where. ?

Thanks, Emre! Then you probably know the car inside and out!

There was an orginal silver color available called Ascot Silver. I'm not sure, if this is the same color but at least the car in the image looks quite the same color I used:

 

Fun fact: for the German market, there was a limited edition named after German soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer. Limited to 30 pcs.

I’ve always liked the looks of the actual car and I really like your model.  A very nice build.
