Never seen one of those before! Superb finish & quality photos.

Stunning model!
Very clean build and impeccable paint finish! :thumbsup:

what a great job! did you modify the body kit? I like the playboy in the middle haha!

Thanks for comments:)

No, I did not modify a body, it is 1/24 Aoshima Daihatsu Copen Pandora Type 887 Evo II (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10077565), but I cut off all apertures and replaced them with etched metal mesh.

Not my taste, but the finish is stunning, so smooth and clean, so congrats, very nice job!

Superb!

WHOOAAA!!! That tiny little thing really stands out with the minor modifications you crafted. Excellent paintjob, too. I have the Pandora Copen in my stash - and never figured out what to do with it (read: never found motivation) ... now I know :)

Great finish and pics. I'm guessing you're a bit of a perfectionist :)

I'm guessing you're a bit of a perfectionist :)
Yes, just a little bit.
Congratulation, Konstantin! What a beauty! I'm proud of you.:)

Outstanding! :thumbsup:

I don't know this car but it reminds me a lot of the Nissan Figaro mini car I fell in love with this summer in London :) I really wanted to buy one but it seems they were only made for Japan and are therefore right hand drive only cars :( But I'll take one of these instead... :D

You really turned this "boring" car into a stunning beast.
Well done.

btw, do you have some interior close-ups, i'm particularly interested in the seats, which kit are they from? or any modifications done to them?

This seats are from the 1/24 Aoshima Daihatsu Copen Ultimate Edition (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10057925), another kit of that car.
