1/24 ISUZU BELLETT 1600GTR EARLY VERSION (1969)

The chrome trim pieces and the GTR badging really pop once you take your time with them, and the 1969 early-version body lines captured that boxy charm perfectly. It took me a patient weekend to get the suspension and undercarriage sorted, but the finished interior detail alone makes it worth the ef

The doors and hood fit together so cleanly that I barely needed putty, which never happens with kits this old. Panel lines are crisp enough to make the 1969 GTR body look the part right out of the box. I've built a lot of Japanese sedans from this era and this one's a joy from start to finish.

The chrome trim on the grille and window frames really pops once it’s on—makes that 1969 front end look properly sharp on the shelf. Panel gaps on the body lined up clean, so the paint job stayed stress-free.
