Tamiya Toyota Supra

Hey guys so here's one I've been working on for a while. In recently repainted the body because of some errors I was unhappy with on the roof. But everything else was painted about a year and a half ago.

The supra is one of my favorite cars ever. My realistic dream car so to speak. I am wanting to make a trio of Blue, Red, and Silver. This one here is painted with TS-53 Racing Blue and TS-13 clear.

The interior is painted with Vallejo air Tan and Black. Flocked with model master sand and black as well. I use the spray adhesive method and then use the white glue method to patch up any mistakes. The seat belt catches were scratch built from clear plastic. The gauge panel was handpainted flat black for contrast like the real car.

The engine block was painted with XF-16 flat aluminum and then I hand painted the flat block on the block but that is not visible. The upper intake and accessories were painted with model master aluminum metalizer non buffing. The gunmetal detail took quite some time to mask and get right. That was done with MM gunmetal metalizer as well. The details were picked out with strictly Vallejo paints.

I am currently trying to devise a way to create ignition wiring and a few other details for this one. I do have the model mieser turbo kit but I may save that for the red supra I have planned. I may keep this one stock.

Mock up

Looking good so far. Nice color.

Looking great! What are you going to do ignition wires for? Aren't they all hidden under the cover along the top of the valve cover (and aren't they coil on plug)?

I actually have them completed. I used coiled wire over k&s tubing and then slipped detail master black wiring over that. More pics soon

I've got a rolling chassis now. Here's a good pic. Ill get more of the brakes, wheels and mock up photos on here later.
