1968 Isuzu 117 coupe - Hasegawa 1/24

Post by VickersVandal »

One of the most attractive cars ever to come out of Japan. The styling is just beautiful. I built this for a model club display and also as a homage to a friend who passed away unexpectedly late last year. He absolutely lived for his Isuzu coupe.

Painted with rattle can. It's an extremely busy kit. Beautifully detailed but time consuming to get all the little details right.

The colour alone dates it perfectly! Great build.

A well built model, that does look very period.
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

Lovely build of one of my all time favourite cars. Great colour and excellent detail work. A fitting tribute to your friend, as well…
Best,

Thanks everyone. All being well, it won't be the last classic JDM off my bench this year.
