FAB1 rolls royce
Posted by OctaneOrange on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:39 PM

I needed a slump buster so i put this simple kit very quickly and had a little fun.

It's a styrene kit by Imai that comes molded in pink and black. It's a motorised kit, but they don't include a motor. So i didn't put in any of the electronics. I didn't primer it either but that was a mistake, as the pink pulled back from the edges.

Cool build!

Hard to tell if the driver is in the center or is it right hand drive?

Driver is in center, but is just a head and shoulders, no detail below that.

That is a wild ride!  Never seen that kit. 

Thanks,

Octane,

If you mist on the first couple of coats before applying a wet coat, it will give the following coats something to grab on to and will keep them from pulling away from the edges.  That looks like a fun build.

John,

I think that's from the Gerry Anderson UFO series.

That is certainly unusual. Very nice work. I like it a lot.

Lewbud,

FAB-1 is from Thunderbirds, my most favoritest show when I was in preschool.  Big Smile  It was Lady Penelope’s personal car, with equipment that rivaled 007’s original Aston Martin.

I wonder if anyone will do a 1/24 scale kit?  I believe Aoshima revised the tooling of the original 1/32 kit to include an interior.
