Hi,

These are my last projects for 2006.
Tamiya Mclaren SLR and Porsche Carrera GT (Clear edition)

I started both at same time and I hope finish them early 2007.
These are some picts of these kits. GT Clear model will require great detail so it seen well through clear body. I also have Ferrari F50 Fullview and CLK GTR Full view. Really I like these clear models. (See my AF gallery member)
SLR will be black or dark blue color.

Pardon my ignorance, but where do you find a clear view (Full View) CGT? I've checked 1999.co.jp and hlj.com but neither of them seem to indicate it.

EDIT: I found my answer. Limited edition, already discontinued. Congratulations on getting one! I know you'll do it proud.

Can I ask, did you spray clear coat on your past clear body models?

I have looked high and low since for one and found one on ebay tha tended a while ago and nowhere else.

And Yes, I meant for the font to be that big!

I am an Enzo freak and will get one somehow!

edit: The Ferrari F1 2000.
Not only the F1-2000, also the F2001 (I own one clear view) and a modern williams (FW23 or FW24).
Its a shame Tamiya limited the release of those kits. Really would like to have one of each (F50, Enzo, Carrera GT).

Hey Jaimenew, I want to apologize for changing your threads direction about the CGT. I hope you still do the build up here!!!!

Because of you I bought one also, so I need to learn about doing a clear view kit!

Looking good, man! I'm so jealous that my building skills aren't up to snuff to even THINK about getting myself a clear-view kit.

Enzoenvy1

11-07-2006, 05:27 PM

SO, do you have to polish the body or clear it or what?

I have never done one of these yet and am wondering.

Jaimenew

11-07-2006, 06:39 PM

No polish, no paint. Clear plastic has a good shine.
This is my Fullview F50 completed months ago. MB CLK completed years ago.
