Mystery Model

I'm not going to reveal it just yet, you'll have to guess for now. all i'm letting you know is that its a tamiya model of a concept car.:p this has to be one of the best fitting models i've done along with the C5-R. its just butter in my hands. here is a pic of what i have done, i'm going to see if i can finish it later tonight, if not then tomorrow. any guesses yet?

I'll admit, you have me stumped. And I thought I knew my Tamiya models well. :rolleyes:

But, here's what I do know:
a. The car's mid- or rear-engined. I can tell by the chassis. :D
b. 10 to 1 it's a Ferrari. The engine is red, it looks like a V12 and, well, you bought it. ;)

So maybe I don't know my Ferraris as well as I know my models, and I just don't know that car is a concept.

BTW, the only "concept car" I can find by Tamiya is a brand new one, not out yet, I think... Take a peek. (no pix yet. :() (http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?TAM24246)

My guess is the Ferrari Mythos concept car?????

The new one from Tamiya will be the Gold coloured Nissan Z concept car!

The engine is DEFINATELY Ferarri. Quit teasing us :D!

May be he doesn't know what it is either :finger: :finger: j/k

id say F60... but im almost totally positive that tamiya doesnt make them....:confused:

I am right, I'm telling you! I'd recognise those wheels anywhere!
Ferrari Mythos!!!
Cool kit actually, very rare!:D

he's right, but the only reason he knew is because he right clicked on the pic and went to save pic as and i saved it as Mythos1, so thats how. and those wheels are very recognizable. i'm going to put the finishing touches on it now. later!

From HLJ:
Ferrari unleashed this masterpiece, a show car prototype designed by Pininfarina on the automotive world in 1989. It's based on the chassis of the Testarossa, but has very obvious differences, like an adjustable rear wing and front intake, and other modifications.

Tamiya's kit faithfully recreates the car, including full interior, engine and suspension detail. The rear engine cover opens and closes to show off the powerplant. Rubber tires. Wheels turn and steer after completion.


Nice! :flash: Where'd you pick it up, Dave?

I got it at a place called robers crafts, it was the only Ferrari they had and not to mention the only tamiya they had to, so i had to get it. but i'm having some trouble with the black piece in front of the sindshield, it won't sit flush with the car so i might have to do some chopping, other than that its looking great.

WOW...it dont even ring a bell that model

Nice work dude

Damn, why didn't I think of that before!!!:rolleyes:

It was first the engine, then the wheels that made me click!

I have built the Testarossa, so I knew it wasn't that!

All the other Ferraris have much different engines!!!:cool:

here is th finished product.

White boys work quick don't they!!!

What did you spray it with? Great shine!!!

Man, that is one wierd looking back end!!!

Nice car, a good addition! RARE with a capital everything!

Another nice one
Very different looking model...i cant even remember seeing one.

The Volvo you sent me that i'm doing is coming along nicely.
I had filled all the door handles to give it a smooth look. I left it for almost 2 weeks to shrink and set in. I primmed the body and slightly re-done the handles again.
Put the first coat of paint on....all well...second coat all looking good.
Went to get the model out a couple of hours ago to check and the *%#@$% bloody putty has shrink into the door handles and it sticks out like dogs balls :mad: :mad: :mad:
So know i have to sand and fill and wait again....no wonder i take forever doing models :bloated: :rolleyes:

The wiring etc is about 50% finshed...just waiting on the body .

I just used testors red paint, it came in a set of about 10 colors. here is one more pic that i just forgot to post. now i think i am going to repaint one of my other models because i used some wierd paint. it doesn't look very good now. its a dodge viper and i'll post before and after pics for you too.

So, now that you've built your first, how do you like Tamiya? :D

:ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper they are awesome, i would suggest that everyone try atleast one, but for me all of mine are going to be tamiya. i am boycoting revell after you know what...

:D :D ..yes you cant beat Tamiya for there first class finshing of there models.
You would think that companys would try and match there kits instead of the stuff they try and sell.
