Hi guys, this is my 2nd kit, yet it's a Subaru again If you would like to see the building progress, here is the link : http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89804 What I've done here : - Tamiya bright orange for the body - Flat Black for the base, rims, hood, wing, rear diffuser - STi style front strutbar - STi style silver Bilstein suspension (will post photo later) - New exhaust tips - Gold topped with clear flat calipers - JDM gold vision foglamp style - and of course my yellow tow strap mark Compared with its brother : Please enjoy, Comments & suggestions are much appreciated!

I painted the front strutbar with STi style which is red pipe and silver screws. I was too excited until I forgot to put the hood while snapping the body to the base, as you can see the comparison (last photo above vs below) I was planning to use aftermarket brake system, if you remember, but I found that Endless has a blue metallic caliper which I think it's not suitable with this color scheme, so I painted the standard brakes and use standards, maybe the brakes are for next project

Thanks mate! This is the latest build update, I put on my trademark yellow tow strap, finished the decal and glossed. I use JDM Michiba gold vision for the foglamp also. I'm finishing the engine parts also. I thought it is better to leave one in the standard blue color for more colors inside the engine bay. This is the problem I found. Below is P1 Buddyclub (16 inch) which has 4x100 PCD lug nuts, while my BRZ actually has 5, so I can not install it either in the real world or the kits. I also had painted the original rims to flat black color. Painting the nuts and interior... I also changed the exhaust tips which I bought for 200 yen. Finishing the engine part... Engine is finished (out of the strutbar) Mounted the body, just after it was glossed. Good sunshine today

What a nice job... I decided this afternoon that I will go for semi gloss, but more flat for the body. I get inspired after eating some oranges. Lol Thanks for the suggestion, I'd already painted my wheels with flat black. I will post it as soon as possible. Edit : your paint job and rims customization is really nice man, I don't know when I would be like that Yeah I would rather to take Aoshima one to build for now. This kit is actually an old kit I found in 2012. I bought it right in the Subaru dealer in Tokyo, and I was thinking to keep it in the box as a souvenir from the dealer back then. I would buy the new one if it was already there

Temporarily for easier taking photo. My standard BRZ rims which is chrome now. I want to paint it all flat black for this car. Sorry to confuse you.

What a nice build...!

Super nice car dude!

Thanks man No, the body would be covered with clear gloss, I'll do it after water-decaling the body. The only gloss black would be the engine hood and the wing. The story goes... I bought P1 BuddyClub rims this afternoon and wanna put them on my BRZ, unfortunately the PCD for the BuddyClub rims are actually 4x100, BRZ has 5 lugs.... My only solution is to paint it flat black also, any idea? I only got flat black, fluorescent blue, yellow, and red at the current time.

Very nice car! Inspires me to do like this

Thanks mate, this is a good kit, though I wanna try the Aoshima one after this Btw, I will update what I've done today. I painted the whole body already, masked and painted the glass (now I didn't forget the window surrounds, because it shaped in the clear parts ) Then I fitted the front and rear bumper + the lamps. These lamps are easier to install without white glue because the joint plastics have more distance front : side : rear : Then I make the batteries : After that, I made the rear suspension system to catch up with time, I used a silver paint marker pen to do the axles, and I painted the rear brakes, because my optional brake systems are for the front part. I will paint the base tomorrow, and paint the engine. (the engine is not a separate kit which I don't like) Thanks for visiting, comments & suggestions are much appreciated!

Yeah, I think I will use it for my next project ._. So I got new wheels set also that I will post soon

Thanks guys, not so much doing any tonight, just a final fitment before painting the body, and finished installation of front bumper

very nice, too nice.......

nice Skyline, very clean

Hi guys! Found my 2nd kit, Subaru BRZ Not sure how it goes, but I was going to some hobby shops to find color for my BRZ's body. Want to use Mica Blue, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I decided to use Tamiya Bright Orange. It would be a slow project as I have little spare time, but I'm trying to update in every step. Unboxing first... Body fitting... (pretty good compared to Aoshima I built before) Primer painting... Front bumper color change... Flat Black for grille and fogs... Found a cheap Endless Brake System from a friend, so I painted the caliper with Fluorescent Blue Comments & suggestions will be much appreciated! (I got a photo-etched parts for Aoshima (mine is Tamiya) Subaru BRZ, is it better to put it here or for my next kit? I was thinking to get 86 rocket bunny for the next project)

very nice build

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome I'm thinking of JDM to racing cars... and some standards...

amazing work... thanks for sharing your progress... I'm learning a lot

Did you get that seat's carbon decals in the box? nice details

I love the body paint, fresh look. Nice work man

Looks nice for a quick build. I love the heated exhaust

beautiful car, great work!

I didn't find any Testor or Elmer glue brand in my area, will search for other white glue, any suggestion from other Indonesian?

Thanks for the advice, comments, and info guys! Thanks for the tip, great advice. I will. I browsed CHISEL TIP and I found it the same with Gundam Paint Marker that I used for this red paint for the tail lamp (If I'm right), so probably I will use it as I have this kind of marker a lot. Yea, I'll brush it. I was thinking to mask the whole body. Lol.
