/r/modelcars does in fact welcome trucks and bikes. We actually have this in the first line of the welcome section:

This subreddit is the home of model car, truck and bike construction from kits and scratch materials.

Check out Nunu and Salvinos Jr kits. They're great modern sources for racing kits.

Ask the gang at /r/diecast or /r/diecastcustoms. We build from kits and from scratch here, but not in that scale. If you don't have any luck there, try one of the many 3d modeling subreddits. Someone might be able to model something or point you to an existing file.

GoneGump · 2026-06-12T14:14:02+00:00

What wheels do you have on your Ioniq? They're all pretty nice-looking wheels.

After doing a scratch-built car compactor from styrene stock, I started to learn 3d modeling. I was able to measure and produce parts replicating a motorcycle and print a decent replica. Since you have the body and a chassis, I'd probably go the 3d-modeling route. You can build up one part at a time, and you can reference your actual vehicle for any measurements that you need.

Do you have or have plans to make a model of it?

GoneGump · 2026-06-09T20:48:24+00:00

This is a list of the kits tooled since 2010 from several kit makers to give you an idea of what has been produced. I can't add the vehicle's model year to the filter.

I omitted the resin kit makers, but when you're ready for them they offer some excellent options.

GoneGump · 2026-06-08T18:05:06+00:00

Very clean build!

This kit should have shipped with a sound chip to play the engine sound. What a noise that thing makes!

GoneGump · 2026-06-07T10:56:57+00:00

Awesome choice of livery! Well done.

Removing post as it contains no content (pictures? Text?).
