Alrighty...
After the Fiat 500, here is my next car by Ichiyama. Again, this has been enlarged from 1/30 to 1/24 and again. It still looks terrific, thanks to the very careful sculpting by the designer.
I guess this car is mostly unknown in the US, so please refer to the well done Wikipedia article.
As with several more of his models, Ichiyama offers this car in a basic guise and several souped up rallye versions. I have built the basic version first, planning to do another one as an out-and-out rallye car.
Actually, there is not too much to say about the build, because the pictures on Ichiyama´s homepage and the excellent parts fit just guide you smoothly thru the building process. Have your water colours or coloured pencils ready, because, in order to simulate the reinforcing seams in the real car, Ichiyama uses lots of "open" cut edges which would make for ugly white flashes on this uniformly blue model.
I guess the best way to go about this build is to show you pictures of the building process. If you got questions, please ask ahead!
Cheers, Martin
