Very cool! I love the front radiator screen. Nice to see some engine detail in such a simple kit. I've always loved this car. One in Japan often shows up at car shows. It's so small in real life!

Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Chris

Real nice build!

I just wonder if the wire wheels and the tires are from the kit. I thing the original SMER kit does not have them this nice. The tires look like that they are from the Revell kits.

Thank you and glad you liked it. I liked the end result, although this kit is very bad, as everyone knows. The modifications I made were the front grille in metal, the engine with some improvement and the wheels. The weak point of this kit is the wheels and a friend here from Brazil who produces resin kits, Fiotti Models, has made these resin wheels that look much better than the horrible wheels that come in the kit.
Thanks - Rodrigo O. Nicolazzi
