Hi all!

I have strayed off my beaten path modelling aircrafts and stumbled into the car-swamp!

I saw and bought this little 1/24 Fiat 500F from Tamiya, as I immediatley fell in love with it!
When I got It home, It was just a matter of days before I started building!

So far I have had a really good time building and painting this little bugger!

Here´s some pics of the build so far.

Engine;









Main components and a selection of possible body colors.



A closer look at the colors;



Humbrol # 15 Midnight Blue, 20 Crimson Red, 7 Buff, 47 Light Blue and 41 Ivory.

Body and main components primed with dark grey (H123 Extra Dark Sea Grey).





Now the body color is choosen and painted and the little Fiat looks great!

Which color did I choose?

Stay tuned...

Cheers!

That looks good thusfar.

You may want to make the engine a bit dirtier though... car engines rarely stay clean you know

Our favorite rental car when overseas.
Now picture 4 extremely large drunken sailors on leave traveling around Europe in one of those clown cars.

Looks good so far.
