This is not a whiff in as much as there is nothing I have done to the kit that won't have been done IRL.  It's not a build of a real vehicle, but it could be.
Kit is 1/25 by Aoshima.  It has no engine and the underside detail, while being intricate and well moulded, is inaccurate and unfeasible.  I have not lowered it, this is how it builds OOB.
Wheels are from one of my boxes of wheels.
Toolbox is scratchbuilt.
Paint is gloss enamel from rattle cans which I satin coated and then patchily covered with matt clear through an airbrush stencil.
The idea was to produce a car that is old and heavily used but which has been looked after.  Just not cleaned.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Awww, don't we get to see the intricate but inaccurate and unfeasible underside?

The rest of it looks GREAT!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

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.

Brian - I reckon it'd just scrape through.  Ride height wise anyway.

Rick - I wondered who had spotted that.

I'll call it a whif, until somebody produces evidence that one just like it has existed  :wacko:

OK, so what IS a Binford anyway?
