om617 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Great build! I think I need to change wheels now haha I have the same ones from eighty1 lol I have been avoiding finishing my kit as I painted the car and wasnt very happy looks good man! Thanks. Hehe! Yeah it`s nice to experiment a little with kits. Strip it and start over? Would be fun to see another Supra in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Pardon my political incorrectness, but the Supra's have always had such nice bums....one of the best rear ends Edited February 13, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 It does have some nice proporsions. Maby inspired by the Toyota 2000GT and Ferrari 250GTO. I`m sure many designers over the decades have been inspired by the feminine shapes and curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project510 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks. Hehe! Yeah it`s nice to experiment a little with kits. Strip it and start over? Would be fun to see another Supra in progress. Maybe not. Just need to fix hood, and I forgot to add the side mirrors before painting. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87768&hl= I need to touch up my painting on the engine.

Drake69 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 You are welcome. The turbo kit is from Model Meister ,and need some clean up and sanding before it looks decent. Here are the parts in this kit. They also have complete engine with this setup and other japanese engines. I love that engine kit. I have one ready to build once I clear out some of my other kits. I plan on dropping the 2JZ into an '88 Toyota Supra MK3 kit I have to duplicate my real world car. It's also a single turbo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitforbattle Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Rims look killer on the supra. I agree on the headlights. Maybe should've shot them with alclad along with the wheels? Sometimes following the instuctions are dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lghtngyello03 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Where did you find your Hobby Design Big turbo? I looked @ hobbylink Japan, and they're backordered. The one pictured is the model meister turbo from the kit that you posted the pic of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 The wheels came out great! I ordered a set of Aoshima BBS wheels for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Got stuck on this since i got sent the wrong window mask. James: Looking good,nice details and it remind me i have to paint the engine compartment bodycolor. Allen: Sounds like a good plan,that 1:1 is a monster (In a good way) Robin: I actually consider peel of the glass and try using BMF. Alclad is such a mess,and if i dont get perfect result i have to strip the whole car,not tempting. Scott: I didnt use it,i will use the one that comes with the MM kit. There will be a filter and tube onto the turbo so it does not matter if the intake on the turbo is crisp. I was first considering the Hobby Desing and then use a funnel and no filter. Jason: LM i assume? They will look good. Thanks for the interest and sorry for late reply. Edited February 19, 2015 by om617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Little update. Did an attempt at making a holder for extra gauges,mounted the turbo and checked clearance for the inner fender. I covered parts of the inner fender with BMF for looking like heatshield. Started some plumbing,the battery will go in the trunk because of the intercooler pipe. I removed the headlight glass,then used utra chrome bmf on the inside,big improvement imo. But looking at referance photos,there are no blueprint on how this should be,some have tinted glass or black inside on 1:1 cars. Some mock up pictures. Thanks for looking.

Drake69 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 BMF for heatshield. Incredible. I never thought of that. And it could also be wrapped around intake pipes. Excelsior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitforbattle Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Headlights looks better. I thought they were removable. I understand that alclad would be scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lghtngyello03 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Again, looks great man...really like the gauges on the dash too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qkenuf4u Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 not a ricer guy but looks cool.. def. a good idea with the bmf behind headlights.. looks much better and more realistic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
