'64 Honda S600 - Tamiya

I'm not loving the large gap in the hood. I know it could be modified but I'm not the one. I might try to get fancy with the engine bay, we'll see.

Ok, so... I want to add some detail. Starting with plug wires and battery cables. Everything I have seems way out of scale.

Rookie mistake. I neglected to re-prime after sanding down a drip.

Trying to give the engine bay some character is not going well.

The wash was a wash.

Be careful of Hasagawa Mirror Finish tape. Way stickier than BMF.

Am I wrong about the wire size?

Still at it...

Swapping out the steering wheel.

I want a do-over. I'm not happy with the body finish. It'll be my first trip to the purple pond.




*Hard to see in the photo. I can do better.

Looks really great to me! We are our own worst critics.

Isn't she adorable?

• White can be a tough color to work with.
• This kit is tiny.
• Swapped out for a 3D printed steering wheel.
• I chose not to use any panel liner. Doors and boot could use more definition.
• Used the kit chrome. Tamiya X-11 on the wind screen, Hasagawa tape on the body. They blend ok.
• A need a better clear orange paint.
• I love the metal badges. They're so delicate. They are adhesive backed.
• Nothing added to the engine this time.
