jchrisf Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The decals on this one have been a great learning experience for a newb like me. I still have a few more parts to paint and decal but this is everything so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I have that kit in my stash. My plan is to take the engine from the 1984 Toyota Tom's prototype and use in the Supra. Yes, that a 4 cylinder in there-I think it was peculiarity of the Japanese series rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a problem with Tamiya decals but this is a pretty complex scheme for me but I've learned a lot and should make most of my stash kits easy. 8 hours ago, ZTony8 said: I have that kit in my stash.

Wow Tony, that is above my skill level for now.. I guess you will cut the hood open so you can see the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Right now it's beyond MY skill level, too! That's one of the reasons I haven't yet begun the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 With this level of quality, it would be hard to beleive that you are a newbie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started a couple of years ago and built 5 or 6 models before I got frustrated with bad paint finishes. So I took two years off and kept watching YT videos and finally got the bug to try it again. I have trouble with painting the bodies and end up having to strip them and start over. This one was left in Tamiya primer because I like the way it looks and goes on so smooth. I would be finished with this build but I'm waiting to get more practice with the clear on my test body before I shoot this one. This is also the first build I have done where I have taken my time. It makes a big difference I've learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
