DAIHATSU MIRA TRXX :)

Wow...I've never felt like a Canadian more lol...i've never heard or even seen a car like that...and i'm big on cars lol...but it looks cool man, can't wait to see the progress photos :D

will update the thread tomolo
this is a K-CAR..compact car in japan....

Cool. Reminds me of the Suzuki Alto kit I got some years ago.

You should go 180 degrees from the Evo diorama and make this one like a teddy bear delivery van, or a car used to take puppies and kittens to their new homes. LOL

Hey, I know it... That's a Daihatsu Cuore I think, at least that's what it's called here.

Steve, nice idea.. it has a fridge, and teddy bear included...pics tomorrow:)

KTEM
cuore and mira are different :)

Looks like an interesting car, good luck. :)

Here is the kit looks like..

hehe
thanks for replying my thread kaho...
it is from fujimi.....
the parts need lots of sanding..sigh.....there is a little crack at the rear bonnet..but i am not going to fix it cause it's just a little ...non noticable...
the fridge? i make a mistake..it's a vendoring machine :icon16:

damn
i forget to make hole for the hood airscoop..overlook it....
nvm...i will use double side tape to put it at the hood :)

latest progress
i started on the chasis and fitted the tyres and rims already..
next i will try to color the xhaust as it is build together with the chasis
headache..

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/cham2021/Img_1890.jpg

The Chasis....
i colored the silver parts using markers... :P

i purposely din fully color it silver ( the exhaust )cause i ithe exhaust is dirty already...

keep it coming :)

thanks kaho :)

btw: where is ur project updates?

Currently trying to polish the body with lots and lots of paint and decal trouble, and will probably continue for another 3 days at least. Ill post it up soon.

Arrgh :sorry: for the thread hijacking!

it's ok
i have problem wit my mira kit also
the exhaust fittings are wierd though

Lookin cool so far. I was gonna say..$50 for that kit..that would be entirely rediculous. $15 much better.

haha
thanks blubaja
no no no
it was not USD 50
it's USD 15

USD 1.00 equals RM 3.78

the kit cost about USD 15.

pretty neat, makes me wanna start on my vitz.

chyness..thanks :)

here is the interior guys....
enjoy...
my first attempt at masking the seats....i think i can give 70 % to myself..hehe...

not very nice though...

:icon16:

:feedback:

ok
i feel the ivory color sucks
so i intend to change the color.....

HUMBROL No.220 gloss ferrari red :)

i dun think i wll use red
i think i will use purple blue ... or black
but the mesh are intergrated with the body
sucks !!

no feedbacsk?

The pattern on the seats is funky! I like it! Lookin good so far man.

thanks blubaja
how's the carpeting job?

really nice work, the interior is great.

thanks bro
now i am thinking of spraying the hood and trunk flat black
the car will be in purple blue color ? or should i choose bright orange ?

althou i really like the purple blue idea, this is such a neat little car i'd go with the bright orange. just a louder colour i think and would go nice with the interior too.

ok
i just sprayed 2 layers of pearl orange and my spray can was empty.....i will post more pics tomorrow .. :)
thanksbro

ok
updates
finish spraying the body with bright pearl orange :iconb16:

Nice progress on the Mira. The bright orange looks like brown though... By the way... I think it is better for you to fit the rear bonnet/hood before putting on the glass.

Did you use the masking tape that you bought from my friend's shop? How was it? I think the masking tape works great right? Hope you can get this thing finished without any flaws. Good luck.

Some rubbing and polishing will smooth out the orange peel effects.

yea druid
i will fix it before the glasss...
well, the masking tape works on the seats but doesn't seem work on the body...i masked and spray.. my...it bleeds!
esp at the parts that have no curve ins like the rear windows..understand wat i mean ?


yah.... it looks brown.and i need a fwe more layers to acheive orange.....the bumpers are perfectly sprayed..heh.e.
thanks druid

this is a really interesting model. can't wait to see it finished...i've never seen the kit before.

in these few days
the model will be complete
i have some problems with the paint job and fittings though :)

Good luck polishing the paint!:thumbsup:

haha
thanks kaho
please update ur therad ok?

well
i have some problems with the rear hood.....i use the hair dryer to dry it and LOL...it bends..... so i am quite angry so i decided to scratch built the rear hood

here are the pics

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/cham2021/Img_1933.jpg
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/cham2021/Img_1932.jpg

Show more progress!

sure
i didn't expect i have to scratch built the hood though
updates soon

any feedbacks please?

it is my first attempt on sratfch building
and i am using polly putty ..

a little bit of updates

the scratch built rear bonnet is still in progress :icon16:

here is the model after polishing it a bit . i painted the antenna, the door key holes, the signals lamps at the fenders and bumper and the mesh grills.

as you see the black stuff is sprayed with flat black or CF wannabe.. i will stick it to the bonnet after i complete the model..made of masking tape

:feedback:

Looks really good, looks like it's time for me to build a Kei car of my own!

:icon16: thanks bro

Uh oh, I spent money!
http://www.1999.co.jp/dbimages/user/hobby/itbig/10000763.jpg
Look what you have done! :P

oh, sorry bro :icon16:
i poisoned you :D

still doing the rear bonnet..really frust..i am using back the original bonnet instead of scratch build cause i notice i need only to break it and fill the gaps.. then it can be reuse...i will keep the spare bonnet though :icon16:

i going to add a spoiler at the roof and it's taken from tamiya mustang kit...

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/cham2021/Img_1959.jpg

I think a smaller spoiler like the ones the VW Golf MK IV rally car had (And many of the Super 1600 rally cars now) would look really good on that.

u should have reply earlier steve :(
this is because i just cut the mustang spoiler.....and the mustang kit is an untouched kit :(
luckily i just cut..can be putty back :D

very cute!this car's 4-door version appears everywhere in China.but it has a different name"奥拓"(aotuo)here.keep up the great work!

thanks bro !
i will try to finish the car tomorrow
:)

here is a little update for today
ther rear bonnet is starting to take shape....left only the right side :D to be complete
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/cham2021/Img_1970.jpg

Looks good. So will you use the smaller spoiler? No worried about the Mustang: Just have to buy another kit to get a different spoiler for that one LOL

Without the rear bumper that kind of looks like the Lancia Delta S4 rally car.

thanks steve
the upper part is a bit bend to the inside...but ovearll i am quite satisfy as it's my first attempt at scratch building :)
