Maisto model HTC mod

Just completed and delivered to Mike Brink a model of his Brink of Speed 2.0 C8 convertible. Maisto does not make an HTC so I replaced the back with a 3D printed panel. No I won’t make or sell you one but if you have a 3D printer you can download the STL from “thingiverse”

Those aren’t the wheels he’s running. Only kidding, phenomenal job. You could make a killing custom making these for others.

Trying to keep up with Mike's mods would be impossible.

He got the mirrors right

That’s the truth. Mike will be adding the ACS diffuser next video, that’s my bet.

Very well done! I tried to contact Maisto to suggest offering a HTC model but they don't have an email for customer service.

Great job. A question, is the #3 pic a bit out of scale? Reason I ask is the HTC "bumps" in back (nacelles) look big, or bigger than they are as related to the rest of the car. Just asking the question, not criticizing your work at all.
