hey guys,
i wanted to see how fast i could build a model so i built this model in four hours,lol. it is mettalic blue and camel. it has a flat whit interior with little detial as i was using the dark tinted windows this kit came with but they got messed up so the interior looks dull, but i will fix that soon. i messed with the suspenion to get more camber and to lower the front suspenion as it sat to high with lots of positive camber so it requried about half of the four hours to fix. well heres the pics.

Yeah, I am going to have to agree with Tonioseven, take it apart and take your time. It's a vip so you have to represent. I love these cars. Otherwise I must say good job for four hours. How did the paint dry so fast?

looking nice, a few problem areas, like the camber, the huge exhuast, and the 2 tone. it is really nice for 4 hours, but i agreee you should rebuild it, with your best work

the huge exhuast, and the 2 tone
both of these features are part of VIP style, not so much the 2 tone though it is popular but the exhaust especially. vip cars are largely driven by japanese mafia members and they have incredibly big and loud exhaust almost to the point of annoyance. thats why the exhaust looks so big... style wise this car is spot on!

the car is now waiting to be taken apart and rebuilt. the paint will stay the same but i will repaint detial the interior in darker colors and badge and decal the car body. i agree with all you guys, so it will be rebuilt, i just needed something to tie me over untill my 15 model package showed up (witch it did today :biggrin:) after i am done with all the cars i am working on at the moment i will dig into this one. ohh and the trick to get the paint dry to touch in 4 hours is to use plasti-kote auto paint with h.o.k clear everything should be touchable in less than 4 hours. thanks for the few good comments,lol.

My quick paint drying tip is to get a dehydrator. One hour or less, there's a thread somewhere about it.

I like it! Dont take it apart! Id be proud to drive this mafia machine (seeing as I have had previous Italian mafia family members, but they're in Italy and in the ground, and I'm here!)
