Revell ITR *PICS*

Here is my first attempt at modelling, a black ITR. A white one is on its way and I'll post some pics of what is finished at the end.

Looks good! I would like one of those kits for the spares box if anything!

How come you chickened out of spraying the black on the windows?

i did one just like that but i used different rims and a different spoiler. i also colored the seats red/black and the engine bay red. and i agree, you should try to paint the window linings black...
great job!

If I would have known better, I would have :). I brush painted the body also, but maybe I can go over the window lines with a permanent marker? I'll give it a go and see how it comes out.

EDIT: Nevermind, its too seethrough.

cool! im doing the same model right now,
i think im gonna paint mine yellow with the gun metal rims
im stuck on the suespension! its soo damn hard(keep note this is my first model)

yea, the suspension is really goofy, with pieces just floating around. Here is a pic of mine.. Maybe it will help? It is kind of small, but if you blow it up there just might be something that you can reference off of.

Looking good:)
Got to add this to the *Want list" :rolleyes:

Try and do the window trim in black.....will make it look alot better. :)

Are the rear lights meant to be clear or painted?

The rear lights are meant to be painted, but I was working from a little Testors paint kit and there wasn't and translucent red ;).

You could get away with the rear lights as they are, just go for the Euro Clears!
Like Warren said, paint the window glass. It's a case of masking of with Tamiya masking tape, and be patient, then adding 3 coats of semi gloss black auto paint, each one very fine, almost a mist!
I just did my Celica, and it took an hour to mask! I love the newer kits that have the masks included!
But it was worth it, it's perfect!

Doesn't it make life easy.
Makes you wonder Why all kits markers do it :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I just started that model today. Its ok all i have to say is Revell quality. I mean, its better then most of their models, 4 sets of rims, 3 different spoilers and different bumpers. I dont liek haveing to glue the body together but oah well. I have been doing models for awhile and this model is pretty hard to find. I found one of them at the local Hobbytown. sdadlani (who lives about 2 minutes from me) is doing the same one and since this is one of his first models im goin to show him how to do it ( what a good friend I am ) HeHe. Mine will also be yellow with gunmetal rims I think.

WHats everones favorite glue? Im using ZAP ca glue and it tends to be a pain in the @$$. DONT GET IT ON YOUR FINGERS, it bonds quickly. hahaha.

PS-Ill post pics of the progress as soon as i can find the cable for my digital camera.

Use Tamiya glue out of the bottle
LOCTITE Super glue that bonds in seconds
Kristal klear

I don't mind Zap, as it's gap filling qualities work well on models.
Just apply with a cocktail stick, don't bring the bottle anywhere near a model!:eek:

That Integra came out pretty clean! I did one but I messed up bad on it so I trashed it :bloated: But my wife did one up and it looks sweet it was her first model too! :o Damn I wish I wasnt so impatient.

This integ model is pretty nice for Revell. I went to a huge local hobby shop and I almost sh1t on myself when i saw the prices for Tamiya Primer. $7 a can! And they are not whopping cans. I was like WoAh. Yea. I spent about $70 on modeling stuff. I got a Tamiya Skyline R33 i think, Tamiya paints, brushes, putty, a lot of glueeeeeeee and thats about it. Fun and expensive hobby. Oah well i enjoy it so thats all that matters...right ? :)

Oah back to the integra. I am also planning on rollbar/cage, custom made out of the part trees and putting a racing seat form another type r i HAD (i screwed up pretty bad).

Josh

I couldn't find this kit in my local shops, anyone know where I can get it online?

www.plastic-models.com i think. Its linked from tower hobbies' website. $12 or so i think. I want to order a couple :)

Josh

Cool, thanks!
1 is all I need:p

My wife helps me out on my models sometimes, The ITR was the only one she did on her own and I am trying to get her to do some more since hers come out better than mine:shocked:

Just got home with my new ITR!!! I love it!!
The guy at the model shop told me they sold over 30 already!
Revell doesn't have the copyright for Canada, so its so what rare up here!

I picked up a second one today at a toy store. PRetty coo model. It cost me $15 but oah well, not too bad of a price. Its people like me who buy all the good models :devil:

:)

Josh

Hopefully it wont be long before it lands here in NZ

Thanks for the offer but i have just got back from the model store today and he says they should be here within the next 2 weeks.

Heres a pic of my ITRso far, I havent done too much. I just primered the body and am sanding it now. Its going to be the color of the spoiler.

Josh

Heres my model "mini chest" :)

I see you have the Sox & Martin GTX Drag Car.
Have you done that one yet? I have it as well but yet to start on it.

Didnt start on it yet. Looks like a cool model to build though. Skill 3. I dont know why because it only has 98 pieces and looks as hard as a skill 2. Maybe because of the difficult painting scheme (spelling?). Yea, theres a 64 Dodge Super Stocker next to it that i am building like my dad's old Super Stock polara. I start models but dont finish them, I am pretty bad at that, but I am trying to finish what i started (1:18 mustang, 32 highboy, 72 datsun 510, super stocker) I recently started the Mustang Cobra and the ITR. I plan on finishing them before finishing the others.
