In Progress: Tamiya Fiat 500

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!
