Hobby: 1/32 1958 Mazda K360 Auto 3 Wheels

This photo is finished blow the gray surfacer #1200 to all parts of the plastic car model (ARII 1958 Mazda K360).

It separated from the runner with nippers and smoothed the cut end with the file. Having spent time in taking a parting line, since it was 1/32. It failed, although the air grill of left-hand side door back was carved by P cutter and deleted from the reverse side with the router. Therefore, the lower half of the air grill was filled up with putty. Since it is a plastic model since a schoolchild, my technology is not progressing. The last Suzuki fronte became such a shameful result that it cannot up in a blog. I am practicing by this model with bad small accuracy. It is the 3rd set of tries in this time.

I will paint the white wall later.




This work is molding spare wheel by easy method of the soft resign. Soft resign is very reasonable price $1 only. This resign into the boiled water. Became hard to soft. Simple object push in to the soft resign. After cold, into the TAMIYA Polyester Patty to the resign.



Polyester Patty take out from wheel mold. Although there are many barricades and chips, if it operates orthopedically, it will become somehow.

I introduce the tool used this time.
I like these ARII Owner's Club series, because reasonable price about $8 only. However, the plastic model of these ARII is inaccurate compared with the brand (TAMIYA and HASEGAWA) of other Japan. It is distorted to a model, and there are many barricades and dents and correction is serious. It seems that ARII buys a metallic mold from the model company which went bankrupt, and changes and sells the package. However, probably a metallic mold will be old and there are many damages. 

You can not purchase these models if  you locate outside Japan.
