This is my latest offering, a 1985 2nd Generaration RX-7.
it will have a GT Wing and Pale Gold Advan wheels.
The front bumper was modified with plastic sheet and putty will I was working on the Supra, so sorry no before photo's.
This is the second paint job the body has had as the Metallic Red it was first coated in was wrong for the Jap Tuner look, i'm hoping for, so Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red was used in the end.
The bonnet is airbrushed in SAAB black which is as black as you get, and then clear coated.

Looks good. Can't wait to see more.

Dude that is a nice FC. Up to your high standards as usual.

Damn nice color dude.. Gives me extra assurance italian red will look
awesome on my s15. I noticed the sunroof too, is that a custom job?

only complaint: i dont know where to get a paint jig like that!

amazing paintjob!!! wish mine looked like that!

hehe i just bought a real one.. (88 model tho)
time to build a model one too i think

but then again ive got too many half finished kits as it is..

look forward to seeing this one done.

oh.

and for the love of god don't change the popup headlights to the ugly fixed aftermarket ones =)

WICKID!!! :thumbsup:

Is the Savanna "Tuning kit" version?

It's my first kit I bought but unfortunatly I broke the model :(. I've used the air intake for my Corrado Cabrio the bumper for a Merco E, etc... :iceslolan

Nice color, with a black hood that's great!

sweet looking paint dude, soiooooooo shiny.
cool looking kit too.
cant wait to see more

Gorgeous and tasteful without any extraeneous stuff.

Might I ask the size of those Advans? I'm hoping you don't go the 18-19" route with Pegasus sleeves. It'd really look out of place on this car.

i like it, very nice paintjob... another real to life model....

Mmmmm... FC from you! :sunglasse:

Nice Steve, looks really clean, great job!

This is funny, that paint stand was black a couple of pics ago, and now its pure red... :lol2::grinno:

Gonna be another beauty!! :sunglasse

ANOTHER ONE FROM YOU !! :eek: :eek:

Do you ever sleep :p

Please tell me thats getting gold RG's. That would look killer.

Yes they are :grinno: They're from the Cwest RX-7 kit.
But for some reason they don't look right, so I'm testing out some Enkei NT-03's in white

White rims, on a red car??? I'll admit, I love white rims, on a white, light blue car, but any other color, I don't particularly care for them. But maybe they'll look good, not as good as gold. IMO, if you had some rims like on your green supra, but a lil smaller with the same gold spokes, you'd have anice work of art. But, hey, let's see what happens.

i think gold rims are over done... i never see white rims any more... i say, go with a red lip... but i dont know how that'd look

Steve, this is good stuff! The painting jig is awesome too!

sweet~ I love those FCs. You put on some really nice paint job on it.

glad to see another FC being build out there.
not trying to hijack your thread, but here is mine :)

White rims, on a red car???
Sorry for getting a little off topic Steve, but this should give 86 SR5 a visual of what white rims on a red car look like.

I'm aware of that, maybe it's just the ricers around here that've ruined the look for me.,

hmmm... red car, go with shiny black rims, or a darker shade of red... im just thinking....
