Thats nice man! I'm pretty sure it'll come out just as good as the sileighty. That sileighty was off the chain!! What kind of rims are those? Got more pictures of the what your trying to make?

Thanks..
Youngdrifter: The rims on it are the Nismo's from the Vspec II tamiya kit
with a 19" dish. I dont think ill be using these though. I think im going
to dish the Model5's and use them. I only have one more picture of the
real one, a rear shot:

Finally!!!! Bout time Camber. It looks great. I hope you paint it that same blue, because it looks awesome dude.

Camber

Thanks 86_SR5.. im kindof leaning towards a light gold color, the same
paint that was on my 69 stang i recently completed. Here it is with a
LIGHT coat of primer, just to reveal the current errors in the putty work,
which there was a large amount of.

I like the Scaras on it.. Thanks tonioseven :biggrin:

I might order the paint chip book before I order any hok sprays. Do they work as well as tamiya? Or, is it more of a testors type paint?

blueboost

this is sweeeeeeeet. Im watchin... keep it comin.

are you set on the model 7's?

jdmhotrod

03-05-2004, 10:24 PM

its a great paint much like tamiya, but if you like to rush paint jobs it's not for you, you really need to let this stuff dry before recoating it will orange peel so fast you cant think, and dont buy there clear coat it dry's dull, testors clear work awsome over it.

Thanks guys. Right now Im undecided on which wheels to use. I guess
I'll have to wait till its painted to see which suit it best. Thanks again.

If anyone's still interested, Here's where it stands now. I painted the
center of the rims Gunmetal. I love the way it looks with the white
primer, so once again I changed my color choice to I think pearl white.
Im also almost done with the interior.. Heres the pics. Thanks
sk8ter in ny for the convertible deck.

Trying to get a little creative on these shots.

very nice, This is one of my favorite projects in the comp!

03-18-2004, 07:42 PM

I think it looks tite in white! Now you know, if you are going to show off the interior, it has to be fairly detailed. :2cents: Great progress so far.

customminatures

03-18-2004, 07:44 PM

love the gunmetal on white idea......would look nice if you put cf details in the interior! awesome work my friend!

Camber

03-18-2004, 08:10 PM

Thanks guys.. Yes, I plan on detailing the interior more since its a
convertible. The white right now is primer. Im just going to sand it and
give it another coat of primer, then spray the pearl on. I plan on making
the convertible deck all carbon fiber also. Stay tuned.

Looking good so far! I like the Gunmetal wheels against Pearl White idea, plus a cf deck cover would be awesome.
Keep up the good work! :smile:

Nice project!!! Haven't seen anything like it before. Pearl white would look quiet nice on that one.

blueboost
