maltsr Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) This is the Aoshima kit with options of displaying panels open or closed. The underlying detail is excellent and a model in itself, so I thought it would be a shame to cover it. For example, the dashboard has over 20 pieces! Paint is a new Tamiya colour, Light Sand Metallic, with Gunmetal as a secondary colour and their red primer on the interior.

baycolony Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I have this kit as well and plan to paint it with the same color that you attempted to replicate, "Aymara Silver." I have this factory color being delivered from Gravity Colors as I write this. Can you comment on the build? I have heard there are some fit issues and am wondering if you experienced these?

I have this factory color being delivered from Gravity Colors as I write this. Can you comment on the build? I have heard there are some fit issues and am wondering if you experienced these?The basic subassemblies shown above went together perfectly and were a joy to build, but the exhausts were a little difficult to line up at the rear. The issues I had were panel gaps where the rear diffuser meets the engine cover. One of the doors wouldn't close properly (perhaps the windscreen wasn't centred, but it was only out by a gnat's hair). That's why I chose the 'exploded' view. I intend to get another kit and try to build a closed version, perhaps sacrificing some of the hidden detail parts as a result. Next time I'll fit the doors before adding the windscreen.

Dann Tier Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Looks outstanding!!, i'm in the middle of building mine now, thanks for the heads-up on the windscreen issue! Couldn't you just take the windscreen off and re-set it, or did you use a super glue to hold it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already decided to display in this mode, so didn't consider repositioning the windscreen. Mental note for next time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
