Completed: The smallest MR in the world -> Mugen Beat
Bought this Mugen Beat (Aoshima) from the local hobby shop at cheap price about 2 weeks ago. I haven't see any one building/built this kit here so i hope you'll find it to be a bit different from the ferraris and rx7s that almost every one of us are building
Anyway, as i'm waiting for the painting of the C-West FD3s to dry, i start working on this, here are some progress pics:

the body painted in silver:

so i've decided to use the spare factory wheels from my C-west FD3S and cut them up so they are sme width as the mugen wheels.. and i ve to use the tyres that come with the mugen wheels because they are so narrow. I've painte the wheels using flat black.
I'll post up more pics when i have more progress..

That looks hot, put a little camber on the front wheel or push it into the well more...it sticks out to far, the back looks fine tho

thanks for the feedback.

yeah i would like to make it a widebody or something (esp because the wheels are so big) but my putty skill is not very good yet so i don't want to ruin the model . But thanks for the suggestion

good idea! I'll try to put a bit more front camber tonight.

Kei cars are supposed to have dinner plates for wheels.

But still, those FD wheels look pretty cool. Keep it up. Nice Beat!!

If you need pics, here are a couple of a silver Beat my friend took in Japan:
