Tamiya MKIV Toyota Supra Single Turbo

[lghtngyello03]

Finally able to post this one under glass. Thank you for all the comments to you guys that were following this build. Definitely going to enter this one into the Hope it Don't Snow Show in January.

 

Kit is a Tamiya MKIV Supra, engine is a Model Meister single turbo setup. Wheels are from eightyone81.com and are CCW Classics. Paint is from Scalefinishes and is a Toyota Royal Sapphire Blue Pearl with Scalefinishes 2k clear. My first time simulating any type of lines/hoses so go easy on me, lol.

 

Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Nice!  That build looks like it'd be very fast and very loud in a 1:1 version!

Looks great! Too bad Toyota doesn't make cars like that any more.

Thanks Michael. I agree, Toyota shouldn't have stopped this car. There has been rumor for a while about it coming back, but it will probably be like the NSX if it did come back.....not look anything at all like it used to.

REALLY nice build all-the-way-round!! Q: did you refinish the wheels?

[martinfan5]

That is nice

Thanks man! Yes I did have to paint them, the wheels come as a 2-piece and are raw. So I had to fab up some pins to mount them, as well as the depth to glue the faces for my offset.  They are finished using Alclad II Chrome over a Tamiya Gloss Black base.

 

Feel free to check the build thread out, it shows the wheels during build process. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/111225-tamiya-mk-iv-supra-single-turbo-under-glass-8-27-16/
