1/24 Fujimi Lexus IS350
It was finished in spring this year but I couldn't find the time to take some final shots of it. You are welcome take a look at the WIP on Slovenian modelers forum.
List of modifications: - lowering of suspension - aftermarket wheels - Volk TE37, - PE discs + calipers of Nissan Skyline R34, - cut out the molded front vent and replaced it with a mesh (again donated by Nissan Skyline R34) - removed the front license plate to make a "clean" front - filled the parking sensor holes on the rear bumper - side mirrors can be folded - metal transfer emblems - front and rear lights were sanded to achieve a better fitment - aluminium mufflers - mild drybrush of the chassis and stains on the exhaust pipes - just to give it a bit of definition Reference was IS250 by Johnny Feng:  Pics of my IS350 in one of those portable photo-studio cubes:

Re: 1/24 Fujimi Lexus IS350
Thanks for such positive comments!
It was painted with Tamiya's semi gloss black and the 2k clear (varnish) is made by Mobihel. I smoothed the clear with P2000 and continued up to P10000. Then I used Tamiya's Fine and Finish polishing paste, followed by Finisher's (ultra fine?) polish. At the end I gave it a wax treatment with Tamiya's wax - that's all. I think that it's the 2k clear that takes all the credits for this kind of finish.

Re: 1/24 Fujimi Lexus IS350
First of all I would like to wish you all a very pleasant and happy 2011 with lots
of finished models! Thank you all for such positive comments! It's very interesting that there is actually a few members who also turn a few pages back. I didn't have any problem with the bumpers or chassis fitting. It actually came along fairly easy. Lowering of ride height was the only adjustment I made on the chassis. The 2-component clearcoat is from Mobihel and I bought it from local automotive paintshop, black paint is Tamiya's semi-gloss black from a jar and the primer is from Mr.Surfacer. Thanks for watching, Andrej
