I equate clear tails with Civics.

Please dont put clear tails on a skyline.

U can buy a single bottle for a 1.49 CDN.

Thats like 75c USD lol.

Besides youve dropped 20-35 bucks on a model, you can save up for a set that will be good for ALL cars.

OMG!!! $1

It costs like $1.25 here in NY if I remember right.... (and I don't live in the city either)

That $1 will last you over a handfull of models...

agreed on the tail-lights. please paint them somehow. why don't you just order some handpaints from an internet site? if you can't do that, then don't bite my head off, it was just a suggestion. i would say that it would be in your best interests to get that paint set. could prove very useful for many other models in the future. other then that it looks pretty good though.

Why build models if you're not willing to spend money? I baught a $3 bottle of tamiya park green to paint 3 buttons on the dash on one of my cars.

And no, I don't have money to burn, I save the $20 I get from my dad weekly for lunch money, and I spend it on models, I rather build a model that have some food, would'nt you???

Well I'm going to go against the general opion on this thread and say that I like the clear tail lights!

However, I would pit a little bit of colour behind them, i.e. Paint the back in silver then a light coat of clear red / orange, just enough to get an impression of colour.

BTW, I have the Tamiya pots of clear red/orange/smoke/blue/green/yellow........ I've had them for years...... just one of thoes things you just have to have IMO
