Next Build: 1/24 Aoshima C-West RX7 Left Hand Drive (Update on 12/13/2016)

My Next Build: 1/24 Aoshima C-West RX7 Left Hand Drive
Will be using Plasti Dip White to give it a Matte Look, Will be using Aoshima Volk TE37's In Dark Bronze. Will try to lower it a little bit more than pictured in mock up and slight camber in front and a little more in back.
I made a Mock Design of what I want it to look like for the most part on Forza Horizon 3-Will try to make it as close as possible.
Thanks And I'll keep everyone Updated!

First step will be done tonight, I want to put the body kit pieces on and then fill in some small gaps with tamiya putty on the front bumper (Mocked up the Body Kit pieces and the front bumper will have 2 small gaps) and then will sand the areas down. Stay Tuned!

May be a dumb question, but wont the Dip cover over small details of the body?

[JDMallday]

o-man It may but Plasti Dip is peelable and removeable so it would be easy to cut out the areas/fix the areas if they do.

[JDMallday]

Update: Got all of the body kit pieces on, touching up front bumper/head lights with putty as we speak.
Last pic is mock up with Aoshima Volk TE37's in bronze. Thanks!

Just a silly suggestion, but why not use oh I dont know, a matte white paint,  Tamiya has Matte White in the can

[JDMallday]

I agree martinfan5 but I'm going for the plasti dip so if I ever want to repaint it in the future I can peel off the coat without possible damage

Got the putty filled in on the front bumber areas and will start sanding tomorrow morning. (First Photo is Before and Last Photo is After)

Very nice!  I do have a question on the plastidip - isn't there a chance that removing it in the future might damage your body work?

[JDMallday]

Jonathan It shouldn't damage it, Like I said plasti dip is made to be removable and peeled off. When you say body work I assume you mean the putty and sanded areas? I'm 90% positive that It won't but of course there's a very slight chance for it to mess up if I don't apply right

[Jonathan]

I think it'll be cool.

[JDMallday]

Thanks Jonathan  I'm a little skeptical about painting right now since it's now winter time but will paint soon enough! Trying to think of what I could do till the time is right to paint. Will keep everyone updated! P.S. Will post pictures of the finished putty/sanding in a day or 2 so stay tuned

It can't be much colder there than here.  I go outside, paint one coat, and then come back in. Wash, rinse, repeat
