Here's my first build of 2015. Tamiya Nissan Calsonic Skyline. My first Tamiya kit. Have to say it was a pretty good one. My interest in this one came from my love of playing racing games like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport. Box stock. Took me 3 paint jobs to get it right. First time I tried to settle with the testors blue enamel that Hobby Lobby had. Mistake. She took a bath in degreaser. Second time I had er slick and went through while polishing. So the THIRD time I laid on 5 coats clear and it finally worked out. While I was impressed with the kit, I was NOT impressed with their spray paint. Went on slick and as it dried it fuzzed up something awful. The slick paint you see is the 5 coats of clear and a lot of elbow grease. Hope everyone likes it.

What self respecting drag car or stock car would have windshield wipers? Problem is many kits that are good candidates for race cars have wiper arms molded in. I have removed them with limited success. Anybody have good proceedure to remove wipers and recreate the intake vent and window molding? I even thought about cutting the whole mess out and grafting I photo ecthpiece in it's place. Would love to any hear all suggestions for this age old problem Thanks
