My Aoshima 1/24 RW Interceptor arrived this morning





Only took 9 days to arrive from Hong Kong, which is pretty good. My own record for recieving stuff from there is 5 days, but can't complain at 9. Well packaged too.





The first thing I noticed, it's the Road Warrior version, I did'nt read the ad closley, I thought it was the MM1 version. No biggie, I'll just build a dirtied up RW version, I'll have to build a pristine one some other time.





The kit itself is pretty good, as poly kits go. I'm a little disappointed with the lack of engine though, I love building little V8s, all my models have them . Other than that, it's a good kit, with some great details. You even get a can of Dinki-Di, with label, to put in there





All in all, I'm well happy with it , I've never done a deliberitly dirtied up model before, I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

One think to say, make sure you take your time with it! And make sure the top part of the dashboard is complete, as Adrian will tell you!

The top of the dash was not complete The moulding was short. Fixed with a piece of plastic and some Plasto.





Anyway, it's all done now Lets see if I can get some pics to work.





This shows I bothered to paint Black on Black














Interior shot, note incorrect placement of fuel gauge and warning light, light bracket at wrong angle etc. (note to self, stop modelling whilst drunk!)











Rear shot, notice something missing? The spare wheel is there now, I forgot for the pics











Side shot, left the insignia off, for reasons I don't know











Arty front shot, like the opening sequence (sort of, ish), saw the creased decal too late, and the mess on the right don't show up untill you take a pic











This was my first attempt at a messy, aged model. It aint great, but not too bad

Here is my model - http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a227/ ... edcar3.jpg

That's cool.Keep up the good work.

Probably





I used my camera linked to the pc via usb to take mine. Battery was dying and I'm too mean to keep buying them
