:naughty:
Stock, built it curbside because the engine was needed for something else :evillol:
All the flaws are nearly invisible in real life except the paint misses at the window edges.

C&C please, but most important- be brutally honest!

Paint looks really smooth as does the CF Decal, but it's in bad need of window trim.

Honest? Ok.
Looks great! But it would be even better a bit lower...It sits a little high,or is just the pics??
What have you used to glue the front-back rear lights?

paint looks excellent!
needs: rear wiper, black paint around the inside rim of the headlight lenses, a tad lower ride height (even though they are 19" wheels), and use a lot less glue when you put the drivers mirror on, or maybe the paint is bad around the mirror base?

For the most part it looks great! I do agree with what everyone's said. Could use some more details (i.e. the insides of the front and rear lights, side markers, inside window trim, and interior), could probably use some lowering. The Paint and Carbon looks awesome!

Thanks everybody, i tried to paint the inside window trim but it was too har for me to try and mask off. The outside window trim got a tad f*cked up and the glue for the rear view mirrors isnt actually visible in real life :S
Regarding the ride height, i will keep it in mind for the next supra i'm making. I've heard from several dudes that the supra sits very high even at stock wheels/brakes.

Hey man, there are thousands and thousands of wheels that look like the R34 ones (and i guess nissan didn't come up with that design first in the world). Just imagine that they aren't nissan wheels and there you go :icon16:
Peace

I thought this kit came with pre-cut masks for doing the inside window trim.

Honest....allright.
Like the other guys said the paint is good. I don't really like the carbon hood, but it's done well. Wheels are totally your choice....I have put them on an NSX that is posted here in AF somewhere and must say they look good on a lot of cars.
Headlights are really bad, just take a look at a pic of the real car (or the instructions for that matter) and you are good to go. Same for the rears...and don't forget to paint the edge black on all of them ;-)
Panel lines look good, but could be a tad thinner in some places. Window trim is missing as mentioned before.
Either paint the sidemarker or remove it...
OK, enough said. Don't take it too hard...with patience and practice you can become a really good modeller. Keep it up!

Nice CF and paint!
For the inner window mask, I use a 1mm or less tape and then bigger to the center, so you can follow the lines better with very thin tape. Then look from outside if the tape has no bubbles where the paint could run into. If you see some, you can press them away with a tooth pick.:smokin:

Looks similar to one of mine. =D
Mine came out a little lower... but it's stock height also:
