galaxyg Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'd been wanting to do a classic JDM white and gold two-tone for quite some time and the Celsior (LS400)was a good fit. It did remind me how much of a pain white cars can be, especially if the base plastic is anything other than (and in this case the opposite- black). This kit has got a bit grubby in places on the white and proved hard to clean and the BMF shiny chrome bits such as the lacing were a pain to put on as well - and don't photograph very well either. Overall I'm only so-so about this build, although the engine is nice. Much as I love the white/gold I don't think I'll be tackling it again any time soon. I do love Japanese 4 door saloon cars but in many ways the Celsior/Lexus LS400 is one of the most boring looking of them all, I guess to be expected what with Toyota playing it very very safe for the first ever Lexus. I scrapped the kit's tiny wheels and giant tyres and replaced them with the wheels from a Tamiya Porsche Boxster. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Still, a very decent job, with the challenges of "white" and the two-tone. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
