Thanks guys. I still need to polish the paint out but I am pleased with how they turned out so far. The kits won't be super-detailed but just enough to keep me building and to clear out some room in the stash. I don't want to buy any more kits until I get a few finished. Thanks again for looking and for the kind words, I really appreciate them. Antonio.
Hey. I rarely post my projects on forums anymore but I figure I'd give it a shot for old times' sake. These are different versions of Aoshima's Mazda sports car kit. All three are painted with nail polish and cleared with Testors Wet-Look clear decanted and shot unthinned through my {Paasche H with a #3 tip @ 20psi. They will built as a part of a fictional club of street racers. The liveries will all have similarities and hopefully by posting this thread, it will motivate me to focus on finishing them. Thanks for looking. Antonio
AMT '62 Bel Air, Revell '69 Nova, any Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R, Aoshima Subaru Legacy wagon, Revell '49 Mercury custom, Revellogram '70 Buick GS-X. There are probably more but those come to mind right now.
If they do a 3-n-1 kit, they'd make their money back. People could trade the parts they don't want to other people and we could all sing Kumbaya as we post up our Cutlasses. Stock, drag, and custom (Foose as Dig stated). The custom version could be a lowrider or whatever. Creativity would be the key. People still feel they have to build a model just like it appears on the box. Be different. Use your imagination.
The Fujimi is nothing to write home about at all I've built one and am almost done with another one only because I like the way the paintjob turned out. I got the kit for $2 so I figure I can use the practice. The rear window area is problematic as it doesb't fit correctly due to being of the wrong shape. The body looks alright compared to the 1:1 but it's not perfect either. The Hasegawa is the way to go.
I would like to have at least three kits. I'm certain that SOMEONE at Revell is reading the comments across all of these forums. It would be really nice to have a kit of this car but I'm not going to hold my breath.
