Hi guys, just presenting the only project I'm working on lately, I have had the DS chassis for a very long time and it was about time I find a nice body for it. Although there's a hint in the title I'll let you guys guess what model it is I'll have to move the exhausters a bit backwards to have them protrude from the body but I'm still wondering how to do it; I'm also on the hunt for a complete set of DS body retainers/posts, any help would be greatly appreciated!



















The paint scheme I plan to make:

nope they didn't, but one day I'll find some that will do Thanks for your comment

Sexy!
I've seen the body before on a tourer here, but it's gonna look better on your car for sure.

That Rocks Asso_man! I've had a nitro DS for awhile now but have been wanting to finish up a couple of projects so I can get an electric version together...this might be the inspiration I needed .
Thanx

Thanks for the comments guys! So, nobody wants to guess what car model it is?

Toyota 2000 GT but James Bond's car was a roadster or cabrio.

When did James Bond ever drive a Toyota he drove a 64 Austin Martin?

"You Only Live Twice" had Jame Bond in Japan, I don't remember if the whole thing was set in Japan but a good part was. There's a write up about it:

David, are those three piece mold lines I see cutting across the rear window and hood? It would have to be to get the undercuts, unless it is blow modeled.

That was actually the very first thing I noticed when discovering the body for the first time and my guess was also that they used a 3 piece mold, most probably because of the rear and front end going to the inside of the body, making it quite difficult to remove the body after the molding process. It was also the first time I noticed such a thing on a body... Anyway, the scaling and its look are amazing IMHO and I am already in the process of having it airbursh painted until the very last detail together with a 1st gen box-art body to go along with my early Edinger car It will probably take time and I can't wait to see them finished, by the way Jay, do you still have a decal sheet with the n°10 for the bax-art car? I need to find as many stickers as possible to complete that project, even good scans as the painter is able to use them to make masks and paint about every detail without using stickers...

yes, i do..... one, actually two, of my projects will be to offer up the Box Art RC10 and WC Halsey complete decal sets...... all in due time.

mmmmmmmmmh

Nice project. I'm a fan of the DS and that's the first one I've seen with the MIP tranny. Cool stuff.

Are these the pieces you're looking for?:
