Cool One for the record books! I FINISHED A CAR MODEL. Fujimi Integra (RSX) Type R

I finished a car!!!! There you go Warren and Jay. You guys happy now? Just finished half hour ago. The car was painted with Tamiya enamels and acrylics. Light yellow base coat and Tamiya white enamel over coat with Tamiya clear enamel. No primer was used!!! Finished in 4 days total-off and on for about a week. This thing was built 100% box stock. The satisfaction of completing a kit! On to the next.
Oh I forgot to mention. The model is built for a hobby shop display because it is their most popular item right now.
-Walter

Thanks guys.
Chris-yes I am on commission. Got a couple of kits and supplies instead of taking money this time.

I'm not too happy with the first picture. If you notice the left side of the car's head light looks a bit mottled with glue residue. I guess the reflection of the sunlight and the black paint underneath caused that. Oh well. Just a picture.

When are you gonna go down there? Let me know. Maybe we can meet up there. I'm there about once every two weeks, when I don't need to pick up any customer projects.
