So here is mine, all done, lovely kit, I mean, Tamiya really did raise the bar , I did find installing the headlights/taillights to be bit clunky if you will, I am very much looking forward to building the second one I have with the wide body kit.   Paint is Turbulence Gray = (C2Y). Aka BMW Bluestone Metallic from Scalefinishes.  You cant even tell the rear bumper was ever broken......what? (rofl)     I did manage to get some glue on the drivers side of the windshield, I really have the s****ist luck when it comes to windows.

Very nice job, like the colour. Really can't tell from the photos if you have glue on the window. have you tried Novus 2 to try and polish it out.  Windows are a pain any way you look at it.

Thank you Ray!,  It seems its every single build these days, its frustrating for sure.

Very nice! Tamiya has really gotten my attention lately with their new kits. 

Thank you Roger,  I mean, you almost have to go out your way to mess up the new kits, they are worth the money and just pleasure to build.

Thank you Rich,   I think its glue, its a couple of small spots ,  I have in the past been able to wet sand it out, I do have all three stages of Novus ,  I felt because they were small that I was just going to leave, and with my bad of the rear bumper getting broke ,I just wanted to get it finished out of harms way.

Impressive model and fantastic photos. I have yet to see a full scale new Supra in the flesh. This is almost as good.

Phil, thank you ,  I can't say that I have either, but I know someone that is going to be getting one( he is even member here) if goes with my suggestion, it will be the same color as this one

I definitely want to get mine finished. The weather is too humid to paint, so the build is stalled.

Ben

When is your weather going to be better for painting ?
