The Legacy is done. Horrible model. Fitment issues all over the place.



Just look at the D pillars. They can't fit the windows snugly!

finishing looks good ^_^
but why the wheel not align? :P

it is important to test fit crucial parts like windscreen, light, and bumpers before painting to see if got any fitting problems, then modification is nescessary to make them fit, especially non-tamiya kit :P
but dun put 100% confident that tamiya kit will fit nicely :lol:

Because the wheel's connector broke, I had to glue it back on. the thing could not align properly.

The wheels was red. Very ugly red. I guess the black looks better now.
As usual, I used Anchor spray paints. ^_^

Finishing looks good but always remember to put extra care when assembling the tyres because some models do have fragile parts.
Unless you are using the old Fujimi model kits that uses steel rods for the rear tyre, please take extra care on the tyre and suspension assembly.
You should have replace the connector or glue the tyre onto the brake, put it on a level surface and let the glue dry so you can minimize the wheel allignment issue.
Overall, there are improvements. :)

Yup, this kit is indeed very old. I think it was issued in 1994. Which makes this kit roughly 15 years old. The pillars joining to the ceiling broke a few times. :cry:
