My own Fast and the Furious model

When I saw the video of the Fast and te Furious (FatF) I decided to make my own FatF model. I just had the right model for it, Tamiya's Toyota Celica.
So I took the kit and take a look at my paint collection, but there was nu suitable colour for the model, but when I checked my nail polish collection I found the right colour. Neon light green with gold metallic.
At that time I was modelling Tamiya's DTM Mercedes with the Studio27 etch set. I noticed that the DTM rims were perfect for this FatF model. So I decided to use them. After I decided to use those rims I found out that were more Mercedes parts I could use. I used the brakedisks with the Studio27 parts, the racing seat, the steering wheel and the etch seat belts. I changed the exhaust system (two pipes) and I added a Fujimi rear wing to the model.

Now I have a incomplete Mercedes and Studio27 kit. But that doesn't matter because I know there is no second model of the FatF car.

.......................

I noticed that there are amazing colours! Now I have more nailpolishes then my wife, she even uses my nail polish;)

Sometimes I get some strange faces when I buy a bottle of polish, they ask my if it is for a present, no I always said, it's for myself with a big smile on my face.

That's an amazing celica :eek:

Very nice model, most unusual colour, I realy must try some of this nail polish. Im sure if there was a celica in F & F it may look like yours :ylsuper

Fantastic !
It was well worth the parts of the Merc DTM !

You did a great job !

Olivier:)

great imagination! excellent build!:cool:

Very nice work!

Looks great! Maybe you don't need them but I think panel lines would add a nice to ch to the green. ;)

:hehehe:

I like the Celica. :)

That is hot, I dont see the pearl tho

JP, that turned out great! Glad to see you had some extra time and finished another model!

After seeing yours and the other SAS Celica today, I think I need to rethink my choice of rear spoilers for my SAS Celica, I was going to use the stock spoiler, but now I think I need to use something more radical.

Nice job!:cool: :cool:

Hey, nice work :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:

Nice choice of colour, looks like I may have to check out the nail polish section........:) and get an airbrush :cool: :cool: :cool:

Again, xllent work

cheers stump

very nice model, but there isnt a green celica in the movie. You might be thinking of the green eclipse that gets blown up, or you might wanna just call it a tuner celica.
Either way, good job

Great work on that celica! Looks like a racecar.

It looks realy nice, I really like it.

Really nice ideas and that wing looks very cool :cool: :cool:

Looking good :cool:
Nice idea

hahah~ really very F&F like!! but it's cool! good job man!

very nice!!!, i am asuming you use the nail polish in an air brush instead of the the little brush they come with! right?

Very unique celica you've got there! Good stuff indeed!!

Looks like a very fast car. Good job dude and I love the colour.

Could go Fast and is quite Furious to me :D
Nice job :eek:

Wow! :flash:

Thanks guys!!

I sprayed the nail polish with an airbrush. I thinned it for about 300%.

JP

Beautiful! :smoker2:

Wery nice but it looks way to "clean" aply som decals and you will get the full "TFATF" look :D

best regards!!!

WOW thats a very nice car I like it:flash:
