Tamiya 1/24 Zakspeed Capri

It's time to crank into another car after spending 8 months working on a massive 1/48 Avro Lancaster.

Kitset is another Hobbylink Japan kitset, quick shipping as always!

Will be doing a box stock build of this iconic machine.

i'm keen to watch this build of yours, i have the exact same kit that i want to build but im undecided if i want to build it as intended by tamiya or add more detail.
also, have you seen the post on this forum with picturs of this car for reference? it is great. i will find it for you if you cant.

I love every zakspeed car!

Look forward to the build..

Will follow with interest...building the same kit..as the Liqui Moly version.

Cheers everyone and apologies for the lack of progress. This one is about to get kicked up a gear and finished soon. Dedicating a whole week to it so game on!
Started a little progress on the interior last night. It's going to receive a little bit of wiring but not much. The inside is so so bare I thought it needed 'something'!

More progress on the way soon!

Looking good so far.

Nice car, can't wait for the progress!!
Did you paint the wheels?

;)

Look forward to watching your progress. I'm about to get stuck back into my Zakspeed capri (black Wurth car) that has been shelved for the past 18 months. Will put up progress on that shortly.

More progress on the Capri finally. Chassis has been finished up and the body is ready for decals. It looks quite nice in plain white although it's not a true Zakspeed without the Wurth stickering.

Hopefully tonight I will get stuck into the decals and have some colour on it!

Looking good, i just love this car and the stance looks great.

There's always Klaus Ludwig's Jagermeister Capri.
