Completed: Topless Daytona 365GTS/4

My 1/3 of the Topless Trio and chronologically I think my 6th model.

The Fujimi Enthusiast kit was a blast to build and had great fun putting it together with my 2 buddies.

It's been finished and sitting in a box in the cellar for 6 months now waiting for one of the others (preferably both, but I am realistic ) to finish theirs. Andy finally made it across the line with his awesome 360 so I whacked off some photos this morning. Unfortunately, it seems she suffered a little in the meantime and some damage was done but that's life

Full build up can be found here.

Thanks for looking and a big thanks to those who followed along during the WIP

When you shoot the car in front you'll see the rims not the thread or it will seem a SUV buddy!

Outstanding Steve, I love the garden, the pines, the chairs, the grass, the open wide space... LOL!!! reallt great job, interior is to die for, body finishing I guess is in needed of a last careful polishinghand, but color is awesome. BRAVO!

Re: Completed: Topless Daytona 365GTS/4

Great work. I saw this coming watching your WIP. I especially like the paint job as well as your choice of color.
The only thing that I have a little problem with are the rims. They somehow donīt work with the model...
Congratulations on a great build. Do you have pictures with an open front bonnet so we can see the engine?

Superb Stevenski, simply superb. Although I can't help but think you are holding out on something - where are the engine pics?

Yes! wasn't this one where you used tiny tubing to make hood dampers? Why not showing the engine bay on the final shots? Please I'm dying out of curiosity. How did the engine bay look on the finished model?

Looks awesome klutz! How'd you get those little screws in the side lenses, are they PE pieces?
