This is so up my alley! I have finished two kits last year with this type of theme and have one more on the go. But for the competition entry I will start a new one that I have wanted to build. It’s the Corvette C5-R. Plans are grey body, no race wing, maybe some thing smaller. Will probably remove the possibility to open up the rear body work but a luggage compartment is needed. Katech engine will be with out its restrictions so a good HP output is expected. Wheels and tires will be five lug since racing across the country you might be able to source a wheel if it’s five lug oem bolt pattern.

Looks beautifull. A true modern icon!

My first completed builds since I resumed the hobby.

Under glas:

my second build since returning with the hobby. I had several setbacks including an acidente in the display cabinet where the roof got smashed. I built this car as a tribute to JUN Auto Mechanics in Japan since i as a teenager fell in love with their Supra and its brutal power slide on Tsukuba circuit. It managed to make a best lap time of 1’01”795 which is fast, especially back when they did it. The original Akina Supra was a stock body Supra with JUN’s own body kit. And around 800hp if I remember correctly. I built it out of a JGTC,Japanese GT championship, Supra from Tamiya. I ended up building this as a what if JUN would have competed in JGTC, after some research I found out they did compete in JGTC in ‘95-96 with a R32 skyline GTR with bad results. Probably due to no factory backing and a engine swap for a inline 4 engine. So this is more like a pre season testing for the 1997 season if they would have went with a Supra for continuation in the series. I made the Livery to look close to what can be seen in the best motoring clip found in my WIP. I made it as a fun quick build to get me started in the hobby again. Painting has always been my weak point and where I always gave up, and allot of lessons learned on this Supra. The first paint job was done with a generic rattle can with a bad result. Second paint job was done with model master acrylics and a Aztek gun, which is for sale now due to inconsistent results. Trim was shot with my cheap gun and Zero paints with a better result. The WIP:

Finishing up the last details before the new year. Final clean to morrow when glue is dry and then of to under glass

Great work there! Seems like a real struggle to get it to where you are! Keep at it!

Great build and beautiful execution!

Beautifull! I just love these modern classics!

Cool build! Nice with the scoop lurking above the roof!

Awesome project! Great execution! 3D printed parts looks good! What material is that?
