Default On the subject of Fiesta scale models...

I found a toy Fiesta too.
Well, an almost-Fiesta anyway. It's actually a doll car, around 1/6th or 1/7th scale (roughly 45cm long). I got it for $9 in one of those Chinese discount shops that have everything.

Sure, the lights, grill, and interior are all wrong, and the fuel filler cap is on the wrong side, but there's not much I can do about that, short of sculpting new ones (which I suck at). The body kit is... interesting... though.




It's been disassembled, sanded and primed (and I got rid of those godawful stickers), and is ready for re-spraying as soon as we get some warmer weather.

I'm sure the slight differences are because that is a Brazilian Fiesta!

I don't think thats ment to be a model of a fiesta it just happens to slightly look like one.

The brazilian fiesta looks very much like your own. They have the WP with some changes to make it look more like a WQ.
