Big Project 2006 - Super Taikyu N1 DC5 ITR

[digitalbanzai]

I've been away from building anything for the past couple months, and now that I have a job with decent money, it's time to take on a project I always wanted to do but never got around to building.

The Subject:


I'm not going for this exact car, but I am looking for more reference pictures of N1-style Dc5 Race cars.

The Kit:


Anyone know where I can find more reference pictures so I can get this thing started?

Well, I'll be watching this. I love big projects or super details.

I built that kit OOB, lots of fun. Sorry no refernce pics.

This one is back for those of you who remembered it. This was 'supposed' to be my big project until i had to go out of town. Now my rally project is number one, this one is number two.

For one thing, I've changed the kit. I'm now using Revell's DC5 so I can have more room to work on details.


No, these tiny steel wheels do not stay. :P





Not clearly visible, but inside is smoothed out to start work on racing interior.
