Finished my Tamiya 1993 Supra. Only real mods were installing Aoshima BBS wheels and making a b/o plate for where the master cylinder isn't on the left.

Nice build Jason, like the weathering you've done, looks very realistic for a white car that hasn't had a wash for a while due to the wet roads and road grime ;)

Thanks. I've taken to weathering most of my models, most of them tend to fall into 3 categories; drivers, racers, or post-apocalyptic. I try to build as clean as possible, but it helps to hide flaws... <_<.

Seeing a 4th gen Supra in the wild is like spotting a unicorn anymore. I think I've seen, like two in a year. I wanted to represent a nice, driveable car with subtle mods.

Good looking Supra. You are right there are not many on the road.The announcers on Barrett Jackson were dispariging Japanese cars as to thier lack of collectability. I guess they never heard of the Supra. Are Supra's the barn finds of the future?

They have a limited view. I guess they've never heard of the 2000 GT, 240Z, 510, Celica, Crown, 1600 Roadster, Colt, Starquest, Skyline, Fairlady, RX-2, 3, 4, 7 and so forth.

Prices on 1st gen Celicas, 240Zs and 510s are through the roof around here, even for beaters/junkers.

Here in Sweden they are quite ordinary actually, you can spot anything from a completely stock N/A to 1000 whp 2JZ single turbo monsters on the street basically all over the contry!
