I've been working on the Aoshima '85 RX-7 for a couple weeks now, namely gathering, cleaning or modifying parts.
Tail lights backed with BMF and trimmed with Tamiya semi gloss black.

I agree... Those lights look incredibly realistic. How'd you make them?

The tail lights are a multi-piece affair, each piece is molded in clear, clear orange and clear red. I applied BMF to the back and assembled with Elmer's white glue.
