Opel Astra (street conversion)

[flying finn]

I consider this my first model so no big modifications compared tho the racing version..
It´s not very cleanly build either and is even missing some parts, but I
kinda like the look of it and thought I´d share it with you..

Nice conversion work!!!

I think it looks great! Somehow I emagined it to be red...but your choice of color workes perfect.
I think I would have had one of the doors open also as the kit comes with that option (it is Tamiya isn't it...?).
Truely great for a first kit I must say!
best scandinavian regards

Yes it would be cool to have the doors open, but I f*cked the hinges up quite well

[joelwideqvist]

haha, ok I guess they are quite fiddly to get right huh?
Great job anyhow

great work as usual, Finn. you sure cover a wide range of modeling subjects. when do we see a 1/12 version of your avatar?
keep up the good work!

Side and rear exhaust?

Thanks for the comments!

I take it you mean the cooling air intake for the rear brakes?

Is there a 1:12 model of ´73 Ford Falcon?
