LFA Lexus

as i slowly complete the room i decided to break it in with a bang, i scored the kit last weekend at a discount and figured might as well start fresh this year and pick up the other WIPs along the way. the car will be box stock since most wheels i tried on it didnt look right. ill be changing the silver on the wheels to a magnesium. im undecided on the interior.

Dude... that color with magnesium wheels is going to look stunning, I'm excited to see some progress on this.

Very Jealous! :) i want this kit too......I'm off to see the cost....

Great start.. i'll follow this one.. i also have this model at home.. and intend to build it very soon..

Good lucky!!

Wow...i belive that yours is the first wip of a lexus

Congratulations!

Nice work you are doing...suscribed!

Looks like you're going gangbusters, it builds up pretty nice, no real suprises, though make sure the magnets fit flush in the 3 holes at the rear of the body or the spoilers won't fit right.

i want this kit sooo mad, i just cant pull myself to pay full price for one lol

Damn that drivetrain is looking fantastic. I'm so excited to see how this turns out.

Love that Tamiya have finally done a full detail kit that isnt a "supercar",
Detail looks amazing!

At $375,000 don't tell the buyers that their LFA isn't a supercar :uhoh: :tongue:

I've spoken w/the guy who owns the first production LFA sold to a customer (#003) and his words "I've owned Ferraris and Lamborghinis, all of them, and this car is far better than any of them". He claims he's going to buy #500 (the last one made).

Man, I cant wait. I was litteraly on ebay about to buy one haha.

I have 3 project's I am working on currently (R32, R43, datsun roaster fairlady 2000) But I did order paint for this one. I can't wait to see progress on yours, so I can have inspiration for mine haha.

i wasnt going to buy this kit til i saw your thread. now i want one...bad!

Check ebay brand new kits for like 65 shipped :)

That is the full price for one. :lol: I think I'm going to wait on this one till it goes lower. $55+ for a 1/24 model is ridiculous in my case.

dude, clean build so far. never disappoints. following here and mcm.

you can find these for less than 65 shipped. besides, it's a good deal either way. it comes with PE set and lists at 80 bucks on some store sites.

finally have some idea of the color i want to use the interior will be a combination of light gray and mint
