Modded 1:24 Maisto Ford Explorer

OK this is my first ever mod that looks nice. All i did was add some rims to this Maisto 1:24 Ford Explorer.

I want some ideas, what can i do to it? That is beginner and user friendly

Beware that the pictures are not that good. The car looks better IRL





Thanks for looking at my stuffs!

You can always do the interior (a little two tone). Something simple.

Re: Modded 1:24 Maisto Ford Explorer

beginners don't paint. it's too hard to lower maistos. this is a maisto right?
