I think it is all in the masking to do the window trim - but kudos to the painter

Nice! Someone needs to cast up some GTR rims.

I spotted a post on another forum mentioning a 1/24th scale Bellett Deluxe 4-door sedan in resin, as a trankit for the Fujimi GT's...anyone seen one? I was thinking of scratch-building a sedan from a Fujimi kit, but if someone has done one already, I'll just part with my money instead. Please let me know if anyone spots them online.

Cheers,
Duane

Hey Redback,

Hey Rob,

It is a 1/10th scale LOSI XXXS Drift Car with the standard wheels. I measured from the outside nut face to the outside wall of the tyre and it was approximately 10mm if that helps. Let me know if you need any more info or pictures.

Cheers,
Neil

Many thanks Neil.

Got a Tamiya TT01E chassis for mine.
Was hoping you had too, then I would know if the Watanabe wheels I've ordered would fit properly.
I guess I'll just have to try them and find out ;)

Waiting, waiting always waiting :lol:

Update time.
I have to hand it to the people who paint these things for a living or are ,ore proficient than me.
It's taken two days to mask the body to the point the 1st coat can go on.
The fact to have to paint in reverse is does my head in a bit.

The mirrors look so cool, I just hope the rest of it turns out okay.

Until later :D

Great Job, Rob. Those wheels look amazing too. Love to see them for real on a Bellett. Might need drastic surgery though.
