LAone Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 hey, it's a nice kit to build. i built one about 10 years ago. i still have it, although its been taken apart.. as for your paint, i can only recommend you do light coats untill you get the right shade of the color. i remember painting a camaro in a similar or same color and it took a bit before it looked like the cap color was. you need to spray it evenly and try not to get any runs. best of luck.

The engine bay and interior bucket from the street version were grafted into the curbside race version. The body modifications are very evident in the last picture. As far as the seat color question I would play off the outside colors and repeat them inside - not exact but similar, muted colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Going light with the paint is a very good idea on this model, you can obscure the body trim details easily with heavy paint making painting the window frames, for example, a challenge... Thick paint will also give you problems fitting the tail light clear covers onto the body, tight tolerances there... I did this one as a quick build not too long ago... Out-Of-The-Box this kit fits quite well. I added a few decals, and swapped the wheels, and lowered it a little. It has the Japanese trim parts on an American based version. All Tamiya TS paints for the body... Hey look, it's the same bay window and exterior motion flood light reflected in my Supra and the Tsunami!
