1968 Isuzu 117 coupe - Hasegawa 1/24
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!

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

I'd completely missed this. Great looking build VV!
