HKS ALTEZZA!!!!! well...not quite...
I cant find my old thread..so heres a new one...
This is a kitbash with a Fujimi Altezza and a Tamiya Benz DTM. The chassis is half altezza, half tamiya, with alot of scratch building for the suspension. Car is painted with Semigloss black, with the blue hood and roof left from the original paint job (i think it was Testors True Blue Pearl). I wanted to go for the "raw" race look here, so no need for a glossy finish. I kno its not my best work, i didnt even primer it, too lazy to, just wanted to get it out of the way, I got tired of sanding this thing.
I hope to carbon fiber decal everything that is black right now, in the future.

Carbon Fiber the hood first...IMO doesnt look right half blue half black, but great conversion.

looks good.
i think you should start a fresh with two new kits, that way there will be no compromises and wtih all your gained knowlege it will be even better. :evillol:

i agree with chris this car is cool and if you begin with two fresh new kits and go real good on the next one it will be :iceslolan. Good job though! and IMO i like the blue black, and if it was blue and carbon fiber that would look awesome as well! Good work!

Looks good to me. Certainly has a style all its own. Sort've looks like something you'd see blasting around Doncaster or Brands Hatch, locked in fierce combat with Vauxhalls and MG's.
Mmmm.... MG's. :biggrin:

What are you guys talking about?
In my opinion the hood looks bad ass! It's not often that people do that kind of stuff. Its pretty unique, but hey thats my opnion. :-p
I like your car alot. Just a little bit to much, I think

Yup, that's got the potential to be a badass machine ..it's a great bit of kit butchery too:grinyes:
Like others have said, go for it with a couple of new kits and your onto a winner for sure.

Looks good to me, Im not to keen on the blue, but it looks simply amazing, if you were to get all the hks and cf decals you would have an exact replica. great work
