I've been lately neglecting my Tamiya CC01 in terms of giving it social attention. I told myself that i would host a build of my CC01 and post it on here about a year and a bit ago.
But turns out when i got my Landcruiser 40 Black Special CC01 i was way too eager to start building and got too lazy to take some build pictures (shame on my part yes, as the builds are half the fun!)
So, fast-forward to October 2014 and i now present you with my CC01 chassis and a new body for it.. Subaru Brat!
I picked up the Brat body from a re-release kit and wanted the hardshell but couldn't find one for a price that i saw reasonable so i opted for the clear shell.
I masked the windows on the Brat body because i plan to stuff a Tamiya driver figure in there from a Blitzer Beetle kit and i tinted the T-top sunroof.
Picked up the front ABS bumper too as this body, to me anyway, needs that white piece of plastic to complete the look Tamiya achieved so well back in '83 on the hardbody Subaru Brat.
I also added the SUBARU 4WD BRAT decal across the windscreen and i thought to myself.. Well finally, this sticker lies true to it's claim. (Since the Subaru Brat (Frog) is 2WD).

Painted the body Tamiya PS-14 Copper and i didn't back it since it's pretty dark on it's own. Though if i did i would done a gold backing probably.
The body isn't done yet though. I've still got a few more things to fix and add here and there so stay tuned for some LED lights soon!
