Coffee time - Suzuki Cappuccino

[yellow15]

I have some special feeling with those small cute K-cars and the Suzuki Cappuccino is one of my favourite. So this is the model i'm working on at the moment.. it's the Aoshima Mola Suzuki Cappuccino.



I did a search on the forum but it seems not too many ppl has built it?? Anyway the model comes with aftermarket front bumper and wheels. But i didn't know the front bumper is a "clip-on" type and not surprising the quality is not so good.. it doesn't fit very well and there is a large gap in between so some putty is needed to fix this problem. Also, just like the Aoshima Mugen Beat i did a while ago, the kit is quite simple.. maybe a bit TOO simple... for example the window wipers are molded as part of the body!!!

Ok, here is what it looks like now:
I'm adding sideskirts + extend the rear bumper a little bit to match the front.. also adding a spoiler as well...




I will post more pics when i have more progress and as usual, comments always welcome

Jesus Christ, even now it looks good 'cause you get an idea of what it's gonna look like.

This will be a great model, nice wing!

Yours is looking nice so far
The front is a bitch to get right.
I built one 18 months ago, Found some photos now

Looks good so far.
There are so many cars that I didn't even knew existed, and then people build models of them. Keep us posted on how the build goes.

Thanks guy. heee yeah it doesn't look good at this stage but just use your imagination and you can see beyond the ugly putty and masking tape

Hiroboy: Thanks for your pics. Yes your one is very nice. shinny and clean. Actually it's the best Cappuccino model i can find on the net so far. I'll be very happy if i can build such a nice model!
