e30lover Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Hey all, while I’m waiting to finish up my second build for 2021, thought I’d share one of my old builds from 2010 (It's not the cleanest build I've done - with lots of sloppy work around the details). Overall it’s a great Tamiya kit to build box stock, and I wanted to replicate R129 modified by Carlsson, so I added larger & wider Aoshima Carlsson wheel and larger muffler. (The OZ aero wheels from the kit were used for my 500SEC build) Build details - Tamiya grey primer - Three coats of Tamiya TS-14 then polished w/o clear coat - TS-33 dull red for interior - BMF’d window trims - Lowered suspension - Used later style headlamp/tailight pattern - Added PE seatbelts and metal transfer amblem Hope y'all enjoy!

If I don't restrain myself, I'll end up painting red on black on all of my builds! 14 hours ago, donb said: That is NICE! Sharp car Thank you! 13 hours ago, BVC500 said: Great job! Really like what you did and the color combo. Thanks! I love painting in black! I forgot to mention I masked the center console and spray painted with red and black to simulate woodgrain. 12 hours ago, TransAmMike said: Another winner here Chang!!!!

What I enjoy the most is painting and building the engine and suspension, but I always end up forgetting not taking the pics! 5 hours ago, Spottedlaurel said: I think being too hard on yourself Chang, looks great to me. Thanks! I remember building this in hot summer, where paint would get micro holes (especially on front & rear bumpers )after laying wet coats which was PITA to fix! Dark color helps hiding the flaw. 5 hours ago, ChrisR said: Looks great! Thanks Chris! 3 hours ago, MarcoTJ said: Very nice!
