Default Photoshoot! 1/18th Scale LOL

Finally scored a 1/18th Pace Car diecast. It's not a Pace Car Replica like my Monte but it's the closest I'll probably get

Now I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonnna get a polished blower under that hood



My Engine Bay stock

Modded!

Starting to mod it LOL








I think that's enough photos LOL. Thinking about buying a supercharged Monte Diecast and swapping engine bays. I think it's about 2 screws holding it on there lol. Wish it was that easy in real life.

Anyways, thanks for looking at my new toy!

I know right! I was very impressed with it. Didn't expect it to be so realistic.

In all honesty it seems harder to keep this diecast clean than it is to keep my full scale Monte clean lol. Every spec of dust shows
