Thanks everyone! Crappy kit was a good way to end a year that felt like a decade.

The kit may have been substandard, but the finished product is superb!!

Thanks! I brought out one of my favorite builds, the "1/32" Arrii Daihatsu 1957 Midget and compared the two:



I managed to drop the Lambro, scattered some of the cargo and bent the sideview mirror... but as Arsenio would say "It don't mean nothin'" What is clear from these pictures (and the whole point of comparing them) is that the Arii kit can easily be resized to 1/35; the tires are about the same size and the vehicles don't look off scale next to each other. If anything, the Lambro looks a bit larger:

I have the '58 Midget - Late Type
from the same series of kits. Also
electric green and the entire body
is a one piece moulding.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

@Jon -I made the Arii Mazda K360 years ago and I cut the doors open. The Arii kits are easy to mod and fun.
