This is my Sub built 'from box'. The color I've chosen is the light blue metallic from Tamiya. I've added a new exhaust, it's the only one modification.

Custom is cool sometimes, but I personally like stock better. Custom I think is just stupid. The car looks good stock, why not keep it stock?

Generally I like to personnalize my cars but for this Sub I'vent ideas. A best set of wheels ... maybe but I'vent for this moment, shaved doorhandles :disappoin ....
I limit my modifications to the exhaust, the interior (a cool bi-tons) & full black rear windows.

Hi everybody,
after 2 years ago I continue this kit..... :evillol: :evillol:
First I put a new vanish coat on it and add some tribal decals and after I've painted the interior in two tons (Humbrol 65 & 64). The wheels are now 19 inches from Aoshima:

Sorry to say, but I like it better without the decals and the new rims. The rims just seem too big for the car and a little too flashy. The decals also just don't seem to fit a subby...
Anyway, that's just my opinion.
P.S. Good job on the exaust. Looks good.

Hey,
Nice Suby so far. What does "I'vent" mean? I'm sorry but I couldnt figure it out. No offense. Paint and interior lookin good so far. The rims can work, just not in chrome. They look too cheap for something thats suposed to be a sports sedan. Black, gold, or bronze centers would look awsome for them. The side graphics are ok. Keep up the great work!

Your remarks are good. About the decals I like them then I keep... for the wheels, I have two choice: this one (I don't remember any more the name) or always in 19 inches the Racing Hart CR. I prefer the Racing Hart but then the wheels and the decal do not go together. What's your opinion? I'll try the second set of wheels and after I'll post a picture.... ;)

I don't think the wheels are bad, but you might want to scooch them in just a hair. Maybe 1/2 scale inch on each side, 1" total? Looks like they'd hit the fenders on any kind of compression.
