I'm back with another build, going for an easy kit this time.:biggrin:
Plans for the car are basically to make it a lightly modified street car, so i'll pretty much just lower it and possibly swap the wheels, still tossing up between the standard wheels or some 5 spokes.
This was also a test for doing an acrylic paint job with an airbrush, since in the past I have stuck to lacquer spray cans. So for this I've airbrushed tamiya acrylic x-32 titanium silver, and clear coated it using mr topcote b-501.
very impressed with the results!

Nice painting! It suits the car very well. I never liked the original wheels so i would go for the 5 spokes.
