I recently started Tamiya's 1/24 Fiat 500
I was really happy that they rereleased it this year (together with the Citroen 2CV!). I'd been looking for both for a while.
Here's the body, ready to paint:
Small and cute- a total chick car. It's about half the length of the 911 Speedster I built.
Here's the engine started.
Someone I know with a lathe was nice enough to make me a new set of pulleys for the alternator and cooling fan drive.
And here they are on the engine-
-and painted, with a new belt.
The pulleys have a groove cut in their edges, and the belt is done with sewing thread and white glue.
Next I'm working on painting the body and the exhaust. Thanks for looking!
