Finished: Tamiya Toyota Supra
This is the first model for me in the year 2005 (started in 2004 of course). It's the Tamiya Supra, built out of the box except for the twin 5 spokes wheels, which are the extra set that comes in the Tamiya S2000, I thought the color of those wheels would suit this car.
The color is Duplicolor Toyota Medium Red Metallic and the interior is Testors African Mustard.
The car could have used lowereing but I wanted to build a pretty much stock version.
Updated with larger pictures:
Thanks for looking.....

Re: Finished: Tamiya Toyota Supra
very clean build my friend.
Note: In real life, Mugen wheels belong on Hondas. But it doesn't look too bad on that Toyota either

Sweet. The color and wheels are great, as is the lack of a wing or a need to make it sit in the weeds.

No need for lowering also. Keep it wingless

IMO, it doesn't even need a lowering...If your going for the "stock" look. Great model!

Re: Finished: Tamiya Toyota Supra
Thanks everyone!!!
Good thing about Tamiya wheels, they're pretty easy to switch from one kit to another... lol
Who know's what might happen when I build the Honda S2000
Mike: The purplish color looked more and more brown the longer I looked at it so I stripped it off and started over. The F40 is still black though and will be complete in a week or so.
Thanks again.....
