This lovely and rare Hasegawa kit of the lovely and rare 2000 GT looks to be a gem. The kit is part of the "Collector's Hi-Grade Series", and includes white metal motor components, resin inner fenders, and an assortment of photo-etched and rubber bits which are not included in the standard kit. I must have picked it up late one night on eBay.
Most cars were white; the plastic mould sadly is not quite good enough to simply polish but will require paint. Red was another option (recall only 351 cars were made); but I've got a lot of red models. However I found online photos of a lovely pale yellow car. Now I just need to find the right colour; Tamiya doesn't have anything except their standard yellow. A trip to the auto parts store may be in order.
Paint has started on the chassis, engine and interior. Stay tuned!
