The Gazelle was the twin of a better known coupe from the same marque and differed from it mainly in which retail chain it could be bought from. Japanese makers at the time commonly split their range between several networks of dealers and therefore offered the same car under two names. The late rendition of the early 1980s was given a turbocharged engine, which turned a quiet coupe into a markedly livelier car, and a body in the pillarless version, which looks remarkably airy once both windows are open.
The design language of the early 1980s was strictly angular and that plays into a modeler's hands. Flat surfaces and sharp transitions sand down more easily than complex curves and any irregularity is found more quickly. Count on three to four weeks: the build itself moves along briskly, and the time is taken up mainly by the painting and the coats between. For someone who has only done aircraft so far, this shape is a pleasant first car.
What is extensive on cars of this generation, though, is the black trim around the windows and the plastic accessories around the sills, and they want careful masking. Use narrow masking tape, press the edge down with a fingernail and spray several very thin coats so that the paint does not run under the edge. Once the tape is off, small imperfections are touched up with a fine brush. If you do this part well, the finished car gains exactly that sober and clean look by which Japanese coupes of the day were marked.
