Completed 360 Spider (Speedster Style)

This is Revell's 360 Modena Spider kind of converted to a speedster style windshield and side glass after a breaking the windshield frame. It's painted Tamiya TS45 Pearl White and cleared with Tamiya clear.

Thanks to Veyron for some suggestions along the way on this kit and the encouragement to convert it to Speedster Style instead of throwing it in the trash after my little slip up.

I love the speedster look, so it was good thing that the windshield frame broke.

That's one mistake I'm really glad you made.

The speedster look is awesome on this car. It makes this a very unique 360.

The black headlight treatment, and black rear grille are great contrasting pieces.

Nice job.

Re: Completed 360 Spider (Speedster Style)

I heard somewhere that a good modeler isn't one that doesn't make mistakes, but one that can fix mistakes to look like they were never there. You, sir, are a good modeller. I love the speedster style, suits this car perfectly! This is just an absolutely beautiful build. Great work!
