racing focus in the makes

theres no engine so i got a lot of time to detail the body and chasis. i painted the wheels black with a silver lip. its gonna be a realy dark blue. any comments welcome.

Those Rims look H.O.T

theres also a lancer intercooler in the front too. more pics are coming. im thinkin Ford R.S. blue

Yes those rims are nice. Do they happen to be Fujimi Buddy Club P1's?

nope those are just the stock rims that came with that kit. i just sprayed some semi gloss black paint on them then put a ring of silver chrome paint on the lip.

Nice start

As for the engine, you might want to look for the new revell Focus.. there is a 1/25 engine that might fit there.. could be interesting

A very nice engine at that!! Nice progress on it!!)

I can't see any pics....:(

does your model happen to be from tamiya? because i'm also working on one but i painted in black with white rims (original enkei WRC tarmac) from the kit... i think yours looks hot as it it but if you do up the front bumper, it'll look definately more fierce

real cool focus,love the rims!!

yeah its a tamiya focus wrc. thanks for the feedback everyone, i might do something with the front and back bumpers. i want to shave the backend. but im only 15 and not that good with putty. whats the best kind to use and how much is it. thanks

The best, Sheeez. I got 2 diffrent ones at home, Tamiya and Squadron. But I need a better putty than them because the Tamiya one takes for ever to dry, and squadron dries fast but messes up easily. Putty runs for around 3 Dollars. BTW, what is the best putty that I could buy that dries fast and lasts long?

O and how about a CF hood?

How about one themed after the Air Force Reserve touring car? The pics are links to the large pics.

finally got it painted. they didnt have the blue i wanted so i painted it tamiya camel yellow. i got body detailing to do and i have to polish it and fill in panel lines.

Don't do panel line unless you use a darker yellow

Black will look really bad on a yellow car (I hate my supra becose of that)

It look really great like that

I like it a lot. Yellow suits the Focus

finally done, (minus small details and mesh) i wanted the street machine look for the track type deal. speaking of engines i got a spare cobra motor layin around. i should make one of those v8 conversions :naughty:

great looking focus :ylsuper: , real clean.

that focus looks beautifull and clean!

Wow a 1 day built ???

well it does look great.. I can't imagine how it would be with more time

i got no school in the summer so thats basically what i do all day.

it took about 2 days for the body and like 4 for the chasis and the custom reworked exhaust

Looks good, really good.

Sweet!
Got any more pics??
I want to see the custom exhasut and chassis,a s well as the rear end.

ur building progress is faster than my firebird!
very good job,I love it!

pics in the morn

Great looking Focus! Awesome job. More pics would be nice indeed :iceslolan

WOW !! I can't find the right words ! Any further plans on the Model , carbonfiber or other decals ?

its the stock remus catback, but the rear section is custom. if anyone has built this model they know that the exhaust is all twisty.

i think it needs some graphics i just dont know which ones

chassis isnt the best detailed but oh well

It looks cool. I agree, drop that cobra motor in another one...the car already comes with the rear diff and driveshaft. I say leave it as it is, no graphics.

:iagree:

Nice! Definitely looks like a mean street racer. Exhaust turned out great too. I really like your wheel treatment, forgot they are stock!

I love that color!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell me the Code??
