Here is Aoshima's latest GTR R35 kit, its the same tooling from they use on their past GTR R35 kits, just with a new front and rear fascia , I had scale Finishes mix up the paint for me, its Nissan Ray Aurora Flare Blue , wheels are from hobby design. I did lower the ride height, but it was easy as the Aoshima R35 kits have working suspension. I did add a defuser at the rear, there are still a few more things I want to add, but will get to those later .

Trying to get all 5 of the DOT cars done, only have four more to go, I remember doing the City Chevy one several times, first when I was kid, then a few years ago, now as they say, 3rd time is the charm, thats the one I am working on now I am not sure what you are going to use for the chassis color, but can I suggest one to you, its SEM paint, number 61113, perfect match for the chassis gray used during that time frame

Paint Strippers - What to Use?
martinfan5 replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Give it time, it will work, try sanding a lilttle bit before, I use 91% to strip MM lacquer all the time, and it has worked all the time, just the time it takes does vary a little bit -
Nice

So I had a day today just Harry did, need to get a can of Air-craft stripper, so I went to the Autozone that is 2 minutes from the house, out of stock, ok, back in the car to Oriely auto parts another 2minute trip, they had a can, but not at the price I wanted to pay ($5 more then autozone), so back in the car to wally world (same shopping center as Auto Zone), they have in stock what AZ didnt, great, 20 minutes later found someone with a key to open the case up to get the can Should of just stayed home

3D Printing....Instant Model update
martinfan5 replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
From what I have seen (a few 3D bodys and parts) and have read, that parts or bodys come out really rough, almost like a sand finish, so while 3D printing is coming, I dont think its 100% ready for models, but I could be wrong -
Got this yesterday, its already been stripped and its in the new paint drying process as I type

Other then that its pretty much OOB, I did this for a Tv/movie theme build off on escale I have to thank Danno for making this build possible

Well duh!!! I love Acher, great show, but I thought his was an 70's model, or did he have a newer before the Bandit shagged his mom and gave him the old one ? :lol:

You can use what ever paint you want, just have to thin the paint enough to use it in the airbrush You do know that Zero paints are based in the Uk?, and shipping for one bottle of paint to the states is around $30 US If you want to buy pre mixed paint, try here, these are for auto colors http://www.scalefinishes.com/ http://www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com/ There are no limits on what you can air brush, the world of paint is at your finger tips really
