cruz, can you give some details about the kit? Whats the scale, Mfg, detail items used? Like to build a 250 testy and looking for a good kit to start with.

Nothing ever fits……..and when it does, its the wrong scale.

To make mistakes is human. To blame it on someone else shows management potential.

The kit is 1/25 scale, manufacturer is Hasegawa. Engine is resin by Historic Racing Miniatures. The wheels and tires are also from Hasegawa specifically made for this kit. I also used the 250TR detail up P/E set from KA-Models for the various P/E items around the kit. Paint is Tamiya Pure White, no clear coat.

Beautiful job, Cruz! I have a question: how did you do the piping on the seats?

Piping was done utilizing a thin gauged wire from Radio Shack. The original seat had these molded in but I knew it would be a paint trying to detail them so I sanded them off and used this alternative. The wire was crazy glued in sections.
