Fiat 500 Abarth

[bhop73]

I built this for my girlfriend, who's a fan of this car. I have a wip thread that explains some issues I had with it, but it worked out in the end.

The license plates kinda match her current car plates.. just a little explanation there.. heh, heh.. I just went with the Euro look because I forgot to fill the holes for the kit plates and an American plate wouldn't cover them

Fujimi kit with aftermarket wheels, and photoetch brakes, with a few other photoetch bits here and there. With all the trouble I had it feels pretty good to complete it.

Here's an interior pic.. from before I finished the body

Really nice build, but the number plates are completely wrong, sorry... by the way, I made for you the right Italian number plates, using the right Italian number plate fonts:

Thanks, I used the first site I found on google to make it. heh.. Is there a reason one is smaller? Front vs rear perhaps?

[hd221813]

The large one is for the rear while the small one is for the front.

I like how this bugger came out. Nice model. One thing I can suggest would be maybe using a wash or a gundam marker on the holes on the rotors. Would look a little more realistic. Beauty non the less.

Nice catch, I may just do that. Thanks.

Excellent! Those wheels are definitely better!
