Honda Epson NSX - TAMIYA

Hello!! This is one of my latest builds. Primed with Alclad Grey, painted with Zero and clear coated with 2K from Zero. I used Tamiya's PE set, some PE pins and some resin electrical connectors from Top Studio.
You can find the WIP here: http://scalewheels-gr.com/index.cgi?...ead=888&page=1















Thanks for your time, Chris

Re: Honda Epson NSX - TAMIYA

Chris, great looking NSX! You have inspired me to finish my WIP.

Question: I notice you painted part of the window trim blue. Do you have a reference for the real car with this blue stripe? Or did you use artistic license? I think it looks good.

jmtomservo I'm very happy that my MSX inspired you to finish yours!!
As for the blue stripe I folowed Tamiya's instructions as the whole painting-masking process was a bit tricky.. You're right, the real one doesn't have the stripe, but I realised it just now (Tamiya's mistake) . In that case I'm just gonna use the artistic license
