Built from Fujimi Daytona, HRM Transkit, Studio27 PE and Studio27 Decals. Lot of scratchbuilt and kitbashed details.

WIP thread here.

Another interesting and great build, Niko

(you did a great job with those resin tires BTW!)

For some reason the livery and the race light on the roof remind me of an ambulance or something

Great result! You did a wonderful job on this one!
The mods and the details you put in this build are impressive.

I've got the same impression, for whatever reason.

Great job!

You have created a very rare piece.

Love the LM ambulance!

Too bad 90% of the details you've put into the model will always remain hidden, but the 10% that are seen are amazing.

Nice job, Niko!

Stunning build. You should be proud.

Great build Niko. IMO the stance is a bit high, and rear track is a bit too wide, no?
One of my favorite liveries on a Daytona!

I did replace the resin tires with some parts box items, not entirely correct, but a lot better than painted resin.

Stance is standard Fujimi Daytona, so it might be a bit too high. These old racers tend to sit quite high though. There is not much room below the exhaust and rear spoiler. Rear track is ok IMO, actually the front track might be a bit too wide.

The livery... I think it is the best one seen on Comp Daytonas, others think it looks like an ambulance. Just a matter of personal preference. There are still plenty of these to be built (by me). I do have three others built from Scale Designs kits.

Thanks for the feedback!

What a great build!

This is one interesting project! And well executed. It seems as you needed to do a lot of modifications.
