martinfan5 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 They go one great, I can not screw up paint jobs when I use Model Master lacquers or the one coats, I would try them out. Now on the other hand, you give me a can of enamel , I will give you a paint bomb. But I am getting good results using enamels with the air brush thinned with lacquer thinner.
hotrod59f100 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 I have just received my first gtr kit in a trade . I was trying to come up with a plan for the paint before I start .now after I see your Aston I think I may have found it. Vary nice color.
hotrod59f100 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Tamiya gtr . I can't wait to work on it. How did the pe parts work for you? I may buy a trans kit for it. Edited March 30, 2012 by hotrod59f100
martinfan5 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) The P/E parts are good, I am just not a fan of using them, I only use some of them. There are lot trans kits for the GTR, and I thought I about getting one, but they all cost more then the kit does. If you do get a P/E set, make sure its for Tamiya Here is the body with a few more coats of paint, the body has not been clear coated yet Edited March 30, 2012 by martinfan5
hotrod59f100 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Vary nice. I know those trans kits are pricy but I have no money spent out of pocket on it plus I missed out on the trans kits back when revell first interduced the civics . I don't want to miss out on one of these. I plan to build it as if it were my 1.1 . I'm just not sure if I care for the orig wheels. I may change them.
martinfan5 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 I do one day want to use trans kits, just it takes a big bite out of the hobby fund, I would love to do what you are with the GTR and use a trans kits, I have found a few that I really like. I like the stock wheels on the GTR, but if you are using a trans kit, it would be better with different wheels, and the wheels and tires that come with kit are to big. I dont think the GTR trans kits are going to go away for awhile, but I could be wrong I clear coated the Aston, but I need to hit a few areas again, so I will post pics after I do that.
hotrod59f100 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I as well have a up date on the rx 7 I'll post in about an hour.I'm choosing between this and this Edited March 31, 2012 by hotrod59f100
martinfan5 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 I have seen those trans kits, I like the wheels that they have, me drooling now Here is the Aston clear coated And with the flash off

martinfan5 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 The Aston is done and posted in under glass now
Nick Winter Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Well, currently not home but these were in the bucket already, was having issues with my internet at home but here in FLA it works A-Okay, sorry. So to make a short story long. I got everything primed, the body is in paint, just gasing out, the seats are painted, engines painted and the roof is primed, painted, cleared and polished, I think in my opinion it's the best black I've ever painted. PAinted up the wheels too, still gotta add valve stems.
