Hello guys, I have this project going on for a while, but I haven’t made any post here, only on Facebook, WHY, because this is from my Local club challenge, now is close to finish but I will make post about it until I have it reveal in our club show on October 8 of this year. This is not my regular kind of project, this is my way of getting out of my comfort zone, this is a Hasegawa kit, do not come with full engine, but have a lot of parts, hope you guys like First, I open the hood/Trunk to expose the engine bay, build the engine basically from scratch but have most of the parts that I needed. Second, make the hood/trunk hinge to work, the original car stay open by himself, so i need to make some pin to open and close, but at the same time needed a stop point. the rest of this project is out of the box…                  |

very impressive ! Looks like a great kit from the start but anytime you start opening things up and adding , its just that much better. That is a sharp color and your knack for detail really shows. Great job buddy !
