Finish "Only another opel street car"

Well here you go i decided to take pics before you people though i would never finish it. This is my first Tamiya kit and i was pleased, i have a few things left to finish, ex. Window trim needs to be fixed up, and a few little things.


sorry for the blurry pics my camera isn't like working right


















-Enjoy

Good job!! Very clean.

Just one Q tho - why do all these so-called "street cars" have the racing interior (rollcage/1 seat/etc.)???

I was thinking the same thing. Even the rear diffuser ? Its a nice model but you should take away some of that stuff for it to be a street car, or add the decals and you'll have an excellent model.

well i for one think that this RaceMySS_454 astra is realy well made, i love the chrome style window trims and will be sure to be trying that on one of my many in progress models.
as for the street style, well roll cages and single seat conversions are becoming the norm in the real world in the progeress for faster quater miles.
but all that apart i hope my model turns out half as good as his has

Still a great looking job...one car i wouldn't want to mess with on the road
