That's a sweet car, chain driven no less.

Jennifer Franklin
There is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan Peters
Thanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Sehr schön. More pictures please!

Jan Peters
The pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklin
lol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan Peters

Meanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.

István Szücs
The dashboard looks great!

I'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn

Jan Peters
Thanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean

yngvenett
Thanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic

Michael Kohl
I am in.

Jan Peters
Welcome Michael 🙂

Jan Peters
@yngvenett to answer your question: I started out with a black base, misted yellow over this, so it does not cover the black, and went back over it with yellow applied by brush. I will give it a wash of a dark brown later on.

yngvenett
Thank you again for taking time to answer my questions. I will try my best

Jan Peters
Up on it's wheels🙂

Tcamp
It only gets better and better!!! Cool

Jan Peters

Thanks! Still some work to do mates 🙂

George Williams
I'm liking it very much.

I will wait for the decals to dry before making the final pictures.

Jan Peters
All done, and handed over to my son 🙂

Wonderful result, sir!

Thank you István!

Jan Peters
Bought a cheap laser cut display case so it won't get too dusty. 

Robert Podkoński
