Im thinking of putting a widebody kit with a bodykit on my celica. Im not too sure about makibg the widebody part. I have no clue of how big of styrene to get. Im going to the hobbyshop today. Actually pretty quick so if anybody could reply that will be the best. Thank you. Im also not sure about the styrene size for the bodykit. The same as the widebody or not. I also dpnt know which primer to get. White or Grey? Thanks a bunch. :)

So you guys don't use like styrene for body kits. And is Squadrons a type of putty. Where do you think i could get it?

Careful with Squadron white, it eats away through styrene.

What kind is it. Is it testors contour putty. Because i have that and it works like crap.

i am almost finished with the wide body on my revell civic hatch(3rd attempt)
it ends up alot nice if you use tamiya products
i used the basic epoxy for the large arches
and basic gray filler for the small stuff
i tried testors and the other stuff and dont even come
close to tamiya's quality
best of look on your project
