What an amazing model! This is a jaw dropper paintjob for sure! Nicest model Ive seen in A while

That is amazing! Very nice for a first time miniature! you really applied the shadows at the good spots and that RF is gorgeous! Was it BMFd?

Thats one awesome build! And a model can never get too shiny...

Already love it! Cant wait to see more

Sweet build! I always wanted this one

That is awesome! It perfectly reflected what you mentioned: A superb mix of glossy and weathered paintjob. Very nice scratchbuilding as well! The whole thing is amazing

Nice And SHINY!

Real good detail there! That would be my kind of detail hell.

awesome stance and what a paintjob! Very Nice work

purple paint and apple red? lol Very nice build! I like it a lot!

Thats awesome! Very nice work. LOL "voiture de muscle" is not something you can say in french! A muscle car is a muscle car.

Larry, I thoroughly searched the dumpster to check out if anything else was there and I also took the time to ask all of the 5 neighbors in my block if they knew why was this kit there...none of them knows. I also looked in some other dumpsters around but only to find trash juice... PS: I might find something interesting around the back of the MCM offices...LOL

Kinda envy you guys...theres about two feets of snow over here in Montreal Guess Ill never get used to winter...

Work in a lumberyard...I do everything there from driving forklifts to deliveries to customer service and more....carrying lots of wood!

Hey Guys! Just want to share with you what happened to me today... I woke up this morning,drank a cup of coffee and decided to take the trash out of my appartment block (Nothing special here). So I walk to the dumpster,grab my bags and open it...What I saw made my heart stop There was a model kit sitting on top of other garbage bags. What a shame! I quickly opened the box to find out in what condition it was,and simply to know if there was really a kit inside of it. To my surprise,the kit is complete and in very good condition! Pretty much everything is still sealed apart from one sprue but all the pieces are there. The box is a bit folded but nothing major. So.someone threw away a MIG-17 PF from Hobby Boss to the trash...again what a shame! Im not really into airplanes but I will definetly give this one a try! I also found out that it contained all the photo etched parts that could be used for this kit,plus window masks and some extra decals. I guess Ive got a gift a month before Christmas . Heres some poor pictures of this saved kit (Actually an hour later the garbage truck was there.)

Awesome! A+

Was this project abandoned?Its been a year and a half since that last post. Really good progress so far!

Oh now THAT made me laugh a good time for sure! You could definetly win something in the "unexpected" category. NICE!!! PS: Did this came from the 31 rat rod model A^^

I cant remember where but I read somewhere that the Lexus LFA from Tamiya is amongst their most detailed kits ever.Even the designers thought they went " A little too far" on this one! lol Does anybody ever built that kit and/or could share personal experience with that kit^ (question mark broke on keyboard)

Very nice Krishna! Your models are always clean and good looking

Hey Jim, I worked a couple of times with those Tamiya clears. You don't need to thin them at all since they're already too thin,its almost liquid. Because of this you need to airbrush it at a lower pressure than you usually would with paint. Go around 15-20 psi and don't forget to test it on spare parts first! (First time I shot this it came out like a fire hose ). Hope this helped you and have fun! PS: A couple of coats of any Tamiya clear colors on a metallic basecoat looks awesome! Learned this in one of their kits instruction booklet! Also, don't use their "smoke" clear to tint your windows,a lot of people had problems with this one,including myself. Joel

Thanks a lot for the info man!

Hey guys! This is fantastic! I didn't even knew that those existed,till now. But before I get some, I'd like to know how these work exactly... Is the bigger end suppose to fit in your wheel? And then with or without the polycap? Thanks in advance and sorry for my "not so good english", I'm working it out

Nice one! Can't see anything wrong in the pictures.

When I ran Through this promblem with my dupli color clear, I Tryed to lay down a couple coats of Tamiya clear on my model to see what would be happening and guess what? The shine came back! So I guess these Dupli-color cans are VERY sensitive to humidity since I never had a problem with Tamiya,even on 70-80% humidity level days
