As I said earlier, it's a Fujimi 1/24 model I picked up in San Francisco while at EOS this year. It's the first model I've done in about 20 years - I forgot how painstaking these things are! Definitely an exercise in patience... The instructions called for silver paint, but I decided to go ahead and try to replicate my car, and used Glacier Frost Mica touch up paint - as you can see in the pics, the color match is pretty good. Anyway, enjoy the pics and let me know what you think!

Great. Love it. Wish I had "two" like that! Well, I do have the full scale one. Now for the smaller version. And so easy to park too.

I have one with the two tone interior, honestly the light color is dark enough you can't really tell...from a distance it really looks like a dark interior unless you look really hard in the windows. I would think the dark interior would be so dark you couldn't make out any of the interior features.

Here you go, Liz...



Volk TE37 in Top Secret gold - although I might have to roll the fenders a bit since I'm getting some rubbing in the front, so don't ask me about the offsets...

No, and they're not TPMS compatible, either... but they are solid one-piece wheels, and very lightweight!
