I have been looking for some of those Sakatsu lenses, they look nice in there too, not bug-eyed in my opinion.

BTW, don't you mean 405 T16, or did you steal a light off your own car?

Lenses really add up to the realism of a model car. Yours are looking mighty fine, mighty fine!

I'm sure this must be a really dumb question, but I'd like to know what that little tool on the bottom is for.
Since you used this set, Phil, I'm sure you'll be the right person to help me here
Again, thank you!

[RallyRaider]

Err, yeah Ray that would be the Tamiya 405T16GR not what I typed

Pedro, the tool down the bottom is supposed to be a template for cutting the belts. Not at all useful IMHO, easier to do it with a ruler.

Thanks Guido, the lenses I used aren't as good as the ones you used on your Hyundai, but a big improvement over the kit ones

[pettercardoso]

Thank you again for your explanation, Phil...(by now you must be thinking: boy, this is guy is such a pain in the butt..eheheheheh)

And now I'll be sitting here waiting for some new updates

Wheels are on

This is realy nice Phil, such a relaxing pictures (like watching the nature). I looked at them for few minutes and felt like reborn, truly beautifull. the rear lights are amazing there is no red colour on this picture at all.It is just like the real one.

[hrmodeler]

Looking great!
where red rear lights gone?

[RallyRaider]

Thanks Sasa, very poetic
Actually the rear lights still need the clear red painted plastic installed over the top. The lights actually are red on the croc car.

Zeljko, the previous pic was with the red covers just sitting on top, will fit them properly later.

[Cychalen]

That's a beauty!

[StephenDeli]

Looks pretty darn good from where im sittin!

[BuickGS455]

Very nice! Can't wait to see this one completed.

[SchuberT]

[godfather23]

Great work, but to be honest, I don´t expect anything less from you RallyRaider!

[Vric]
