Lexus LFA

One japanese rocket is finished, so it´s time to start another one :D
Nice model by Tamiya, i´m planning to paint it in white pearl with gunmetail rims. I don´t know the colour scheme for interior. Red or blue :D
So here are some photos. I used the Gunze black surfacer for the first time. It´s superb product :bigthumb:

This is a great kit - Tamiya at its very best. Enjoy it, I'm certainly watching with interest

Thanks :) it´s really good kit, but i was dissapointed with mold lines on chassis parts. They aren´t visible if the model is on wheels, but when you can see the axle and suspension, it is ugly. The price of this kit is quite high, so it could be better..
Anyway... Parts in aluminium. I used a light layer of paint on engine and differential so there are a black shades on them and it looks more realistic, i´m very satisfied with it :D also the exhaust system is in Alclad chrome. Threre will be some other colours to look better :)

looks great!

thanks :cool:
some weathering (dark wash, drybrush and a little painting of titanium gold to break the aluminium colour :) )

sorry for bad photo

something new.. wheels in gunmetal, brakes are also finished with drybrush on rotors to look like carbon-ceramics. the photo isn´t quite good, but i like the finish. some other parts are painted, also the exhaust system. there will be some drybrush, wash on it later, because he don´t look really good.. so here are the better photos, i hope :)

nice work on the rotors. definitely looks like carbon-ceramic :)

Nice progress.

What's the purpose of the black surfacer?

Thank you :) Black surfacer is good. Surfacer is important for colours to adhere. If you spray black surfacer, the black parts or areas isn´t necessary to paint again :) and I used it on engine for some kind of "preshading"

I´ve this kit waiting its turn on a shelve.

It´s a good kit but it has a BIG cons. It´s only RHD (right hand drive) and I wanted to build with left hand steering. :( :( :(

Great work on yours.
