Drake69 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 It sits straight, I just took the picture at a bad angle... I shaved the text on the chassis off and painted the undercarriage Gunmetal. I added "Funwire" in different places to act as cable bundles in and around the interior, and added extra hoses in the same. It's not a bad kit, but you do need to be careful how much you press the parts in when assembling. It actually works better to glue some parts together rather than force them into unyielding holes in and around the body, and painting the extra details are a must. I'd love to get my hands on an Aoshima kit and go hog wild with it just to see how detailed I can get, LOL! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car body comes that way, so you don't have to do anything to it at all. The detailing of everything else helps make it stand out more as well.

dantewallace Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 So who produces this kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 So who produces this kit? This is the Round 2 kit which is a copy of the Aoshima kit, the difference being this is a snap-together. The Aoshima has more detailing and better definition of parts, but this is a decent effort overall. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Very nice detailing work! I've built the Aoishima/Amt kit. i would't have guessed this was a snap kit, at least until I saw the bottom of the chassis. Not to nitpick, but the vents at the back of the quarter panel windows should be black. I'm sure with everything else going on it was an oversight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 You mean the 4-scallop vents in the upper back corner of the car? Yup, Googled it and just saw a pic I hadn't seen before, they are flat black. No problem, I'll go back and correct it tomorrow. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes tops! Of course, my hand wasn't steady enough to attempt to run a black edge around the crease in the center of each door window, so those will have to stay like they are... (and I don't want to have to take apart this car to do 'em inside either!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
