Default Not your average(Scale) Lexus LS460 VIP style

hey whats up guys! Sorry, if this is not the propper place to post this, i do appoligize and MODS feel free to delete if needed.

Anyway, this is my RC project of an LS460 VIP body. I figured since its a lexus and an LS460/600h, I'd share this with actual LS460 owners. I figured some would like to see a "mini me" of their cars!

still a work in progress ut i wanted to share some pics


still to do(whenever i get a chance):
-finish tail lights
-fix fitment on diffuser
-leave exhaust or change to dual tips on each side
-sunroof
-rear view mirror w/fusa
-curtains
-600h style headlights
-and some

thank you guys! Just a little hobby i love doing other than working on my actual car.

Little problem last night tho, i was painting a small light coat of smoke on the tail lights. I sprayed a good even, light coat, let it dry, come back to find a moth landed on the tail light somehow and got stuck. I pulled it off and the wings got stuck to the paint lol. had to apply more smoke and darken up the lights to cover the mishap. I'll try fixing it but we'll see. I'll post up updates later and see what y'll think lol.

Iv'e been getting into the hobby as well. Still debating on getting a Tamiya tt-01 or a hpi sprint 2. What do you have, and what mods? I'm leaning towards the sprint 2 because parts availability.

This looks awesome though...great job so far!!!!

Looking good there. Thought I was the only member into that sort of stuff. I picked this body about a year ago and had to buy a chassis to go with it since Im mostly into large scales and speed cars. But this is the final result. This is the car sitting in the trunk of my car. The decal on the hood came from a meet we had locally that was sponsered by Vossen. Thats their new decals.
