C-West RX-7

Okay, heres progress, the hobby store hours are killing me their not even open after 6 :eek7: (need to buy a pair of XS Tuning wheels after the little stubs on the Advans snapped off) Buy anyways, here it is. Im using the Revell ITR Wing (hight one possible) still needs a clear coat, light cover on front, and stickers. So far, the only real mod is dual nitrous bottles..

Great progress.

heres some project pics:

Painting the tailights was quite hard

got the headlights painted

NOS on a C-West RX-7? i dunno about that...

but the car doesn't look too bad so far.

can i have your Advan's? i can make them useful if you don't need them anymore. PM me if you're willing to let them go! :smile:

c-west without headlight and GT wing ? it's not c-west anymore :tongue:

Looks good!

Is that the Tamiya RX-7?

nope, im keeping the Advans, and its the Aoshima

some progress pix:

1 more..

needs lowering...

must be the wheels, because my C-West sits nicely on the RG's.

why are you keeping your Advans? :redface:

finally the ITR wing is quite fun to see on it.. ok it's not CWest anymore (no headlight, no GTwing) but look good

do you plan to make black detail on your car ? (windows stripping) look like you don't make them.. if you are able to make the rear light, you can make the details areound the windows..

im keepin the advans for possibly a supra project... and yes, i do plan on doing the black details. Who said i dont do them..:biggrin2: heres one i did it too..

edit: i just gave the paint a final coat. Unfortinatley, i laid it on a tad bit heavy :sly: still looks better none the less. But, it did cover some of the door lines, so it will be real hard to paint the trim black...

looks nice..
but yeah why is your one sitting so high? I'm working on one at the moment as well but the "stock" ride height seems pretty good and much lower than your one..

and i agree the taillights are pretty difficult to paint

Bad Lighting...:rolleyes:

Looks great but IMO loose the nitrous. It doesn't belong in an RX-7 :biggrin:.

Did you sand that little circle on the back bumper where you would put gas into the car?

yep :biggrin:

i built a new exhaust tip, and muffler with an old BIC Pen, and a straw

I broke mine into 2 pieces:frown: :dogpile:

looks god, only thing im not likin is those seat (kinda fake looking) also you should paint the straps on the nitrous bottle to make it look more realistic
:wink:

i replaced the seats with some Sparco's from the Fast And The Furious Eclipse...
