1/25 Ford Pinto engine is finished. Most work I've ever put into any model ever. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Everything besides the engine and transmission piece were hand painted, as you can probably tell. I'm still learning how to do all this but I'm getting better. Finished it off with some black acrylic wash I had to try and make this look like an old leaky piece of shit motor.
This kit comes with some hotboy parts, like a silly looking body kit, wide slot mag wheels, and side pipes for the exhaust. I think for shits and giggles I'll use the wide wheels and side pipes. I've also ordered some stuff to try weathering. I'd like to make it look beat up and a little rusty. I think my end goal is to make something some dumb teenager in the 80s would have done with his cheap shitbox instead of making some factory fresh show car.
