I got this jota shell from microman about a week ago. After looking at it for hours, I decided to go with a vintage italian racecar theme. After searching out my LHS, I found the only shade of green that would work. Other than paint, and pullback rims, she's stock.

Are those supposed to be rivets?

Great work.

Yup. They were stamped into the body, so I decided to drop some silver in em.

Looks great Hiroto. Personally I think those joda shells are quite difficult to work with, yet you and Cabo both have done an awsome job. But I must say, that color choice looks a bit commie.

I dunno, personally, I think it's bitchin. I don't care for the spoiler. I know that's the style, but I don't care for it.

Great color choice and the details are killer.

I have a Jota just chillin' here that could use a paint job, but I'm afraid to fuck it up. I think its good just like it is. :lol:

this is what came to mind

But on second thought, doesn't the chinese military use a camo-ish green w/ red. Well anyhow, that's what that color combo made m think of. Either way, can't wait to see it in person.

finks can you ever give someone some positive responses?im not wanting to start any shit but you never can say something without adding something negative about it, and did you know that nothing is perfect? i personally think it is a very nice car, so next time you post a comment pull that stick out of your ass...

Oh I'm sorry Stampede, please forgive me.
:fu:


Ah fuck it, I looked at this post for 2 min before hitting submit. FUCK YOU STAMPEDE, fuckin A. If all you want out of life is empty kind compliments then fine. I know Hiroto and that wasn't negative critisim, it was the same fuckin thing as saying hey that yellow RSX is the same color as a banana. My wife is dutch as you all know and they are known for being blunt. If you get a shit ass haircut and ask how she likes it, she'll ask you flat out if the hairdresser was drunk when she did it. I guess that and my years in art school giving honest critisim wether of praise, or "hey this here could really bring it all together". Bottom line, what I said here was really what I feel. I love the car, I really do, even tho the color sceme reminds me of a WWII Jap fighter plane.

And this from my perspective was more a "what the hell are you talking about" kind of comment. I honestly doubt Hiroto thought that I disliked the ride.
