Looks great. A little too metal flake and it looks like the ride height on the front could be lower. Other than that you've done a great job capturing the look of this car.

Looks fantastic! you did a really good job on the BMF, it is quite convincing. I have to agree with the ride height, though it looks to be correct for stock height.

Looks pretty nice. I always wonder what this kit would look like and now I want one of my own. Nice BMF work also. Congrads!

Very nice job, I also have one in my to-do pile, now you make me want to build it sooner! I like the color, it looks very nice and suits the car well. As for my build, I will definitely change the wheels, they look undersized to me. Oh, and the backing lights part of the taillights should have been more white or silver to be honest!
Any chance for some interior shots?

Nice job. I ordered the deluxe version and hope to build it soon. I'm just waitng (emphasis added) on some Zero Paint from Hiroboy.

The ground clearance little bit too much, i mean, lowering down the suspension a little bit might be better.

Nice Paint!

The shape of the thing doesn't look very good. Fujimi's fault.

What are you talking about? This isn't Fujimi of the 1990's/early 2000's. The shape is dead on. Fujimi uses CAD technology and assistance from the manufacturer these days. Their only fault might still be sizing the wheels too small.

you know, I think I'm seeing the "too tall" in it now. I bet if you set the wheels in ever so slightly on the front, or maybe add a little bit of negative camber to all four and lower it about 2mm, it would look absolutely perfect. I'd be quite proud to have a build this nice on MY shelf. I'm sure it would bring some hardware home from a show to take up even MORE space.

BEAUTIFUL build!

just wanted to bring this back up during a search, ive just started this model, and the detail of this model is pretty nice. Ive only done the under carriage so far, im planning to put it up in the WIP.. but nice model, i would like to tint the windows slightly, not sure how i would do that though.

its a great work actually.

The way I've tinted windows in the past is to use some clear and a few drops of black then thinned for air brush. Mask the outside of the "glass" and do the black trim on the inside as you would normally do, then pull the inside window masks off, and spray with the "tint" paint. I don't currently have anything to show as I sold off all of the kits I did this to, but it is not that hard. The trick is to use VERY LIGHT, VERY MISTY coats at a good distance to avoid striping. really you want to fog the glass with the tint rather than build up paint. This method is quite easy to screw up the glass, so practice on some parts box wind shields before attempting it on your $300 Pocher kit.

thanks for the advice, but i havent moved into airbrushing yet, so that might not work for, i was thinking about going to a tinting place and ask for some extra tint lying around...

well here is the undercarriage, nothing too fancy, probably not realistic, but i like it
