Fiat Topolino


Simca 5


The Simca 5 was an Fiat Topolino built in France. Tamiya has released it in 1/35 scale.
(Model finished 2014)




I build by inspiration, but this was built in irritation. I had a lousy week when painting didn't work so I threw this together in two days.
It is a rather nice kit, but I find it a bit to simplified. I would have liked the tyres and hubcaps as separate parts from the rims to make painting easier. As it is an open top car with great visibility to the interior some door panels on the inside would have been nice.
Instead we get injection marks that need filling. I also had problems fitting the bumpers. I had to modify the mounts for them. Otherwise the bumpers pointed upwards. I don't know what I did wrong.
