Tamiya Toyota GR Supra Whats In The Box

[martinfan5]

Latest kit from Tamiya ,  and just when you thought it wasn't possible for them to raise the bar on the "Tamiya Like Quality",  they did it again,  the A-pillars are separate pieces , which means not having to mask the body off to paint them black, same with the wheels , the spokes are a mix of chrome and black, so they did the wheels as two pieces.    You have the choice of building either the Japan edition or the US/EU version, so LHD/RHD are included.

I'm very impressed. Yes, the quality of the engineering of Tamiya kits sets the standard for all others to strive for.

The only thing in that kit that I would like to have seen done differently is the electric defroster lines in the backlight. They seem way too heavy.  I have seen similar lines done much more delicately on other kits (so they are barely visible, just as they are on 1:1 cars).  Or leave them off altogether.

The way did the wheels with the separate black insert and the chrome is amazing.

Thanks, Jonathan. 

Agreed - that wheel engineering is beautiful!

I'm thinking Nitro yellow and Downshift blue are the colors I will paint my 2 supra's.

Until you realize you have to paint the entire inside of the chromed wheel barrel black and you wonder why they didn't tool it into 3 pieces.
