that is a gift from my uncle, so don't know exactly the source. this is my 10th kit..will post the pictures of the kit together. have just started the build.

AWESOME lancia.

@ benbsb29, the 3rd picture is so realistic!!

Thats actually a very nice looking Lexus. What scale is it and who makes it. Love the exhaust details.

zibby · 13th February 2011, 03:03

Is that Lexus IS a RC model?

Cyrus43 · 13th February 2011, 05:07

certainly looks like one with the blacked out windows etc.

Here is my BRABUS Kitted W211 E Class!!

NOTE: The Wheels STILL Roll and steer. And they were not a direct fit. infact, I had to fabricate some spacers and axles for her.

ANYWAYS, Comments Guys!!

Also tried some different photoediting.. Just for fun's sake.

@cyrus the car looks great.
Did you get them wheels from brabus website?.
Post some better pics, those photo dont justify the car properly.

Cyrus43 · 13th February 2011, 07:17

Yep. These are officially Directly from Brabus!! An official Accessory or something.

These have been made for the Hotworks SL55 AMG though. I recognize the tooling marks.

Advantages of taking everything apart you see... hehehe

And yes, I will post better pics. Have to finish the interior mods with new seats (maybe) and so the final fiting for the exhausts. Spoiler will go on soon too. Then I will open the car again for the front bumper mods. May even fabricate a lip spoiler or something. Lets see.

But Glad you liked it.

I am looking for wheels for bburago touareg, cyrus do you know any sites. Ebay hasnt got much to offer.
Also will be starting some interior work on my SL63.

Cyrus43 · 13th February 2011, 09:01

Bburago Toureg. hmmm let me think. If I am correct, It has the maisto type wheel structure. In that case, most other Maisto Wheels should fit. However, I would advice painting over the stock wheels. Can you post a pic of the axle so I know for sure so I can guide you in totality.

Thats actually a RC car, as you rightly guessed. I did like the attention to detail, though.
