This was my 'take-it-on-holiday kit, and I just kept plugging away at it once home. Tamiya Chrome Yellow out, machinery grey in.
Really happy with the paint, I just need to chase a replacement windscreen and some taxi decals, though the kiddie peel 'n' stick look fairly good.

Cool build! The idea of doing a taxi is unusual, looking forward to seeing the development.

Interior done & chassis done. Gotta order some taxi decals and a replacement windscreen tonight.
Those two will be the bottleneck in this build.

Abandoned. Thrown together to give away. Turned into a BMF sponge, many attempts to get one piece down. So over this cursed POS. At least I've made a mate's 10 year old son happy!

Really, really p'd off over this build. Promised much, delivered nothing. It was on the floor, about to feel a size 10, when I decided I'd throw it together and get it out of my sight and life.

perhaps you planted a seed in a young mans mind of some sort so all is not lost . sorry for your frustration ive stomped a few kits to bits in my time . good luck on future projects though and have you tried the molotow chrome pens ??? i bought one pricey yes and i havent quite got the knack of it but the results are quite promising

Sorry to hear it fell into the "arrrrgh" pile but gifting it to a child is better than stomping it into molecular dust. And like Nismo said, perhaps it will provide inspiration for a future scale modeller.
