'Comp Entry' Top Secret Inspired Supra.

Nice progress. I hope you can get the paint situated.

Brilliant!

Just a quick photo for anybody interested.

My Supra 'poduction line', should keep me busy for a while when this car and the 2004 WRC Lancer are finished :naughty:

Very nice job, its excellent. Great detail.

How the fork did I almost miss this thread!? That's an awesome job, man! I'm really impressed with your engine, I was trying to do the same thing myself, and it's HARD! Maybe this'll help me out, I have the same kit.

SupraBoy, could you possibly make a detailed tutorial on making those turbochargers?

No more pics as yet, getting the paint OK. Trouble is my can is empty and finding any colour you realy want over here is always mpossible, Sods law I guess.

Thought I would answer a couple of questions.

geofroley - page 2 has turbo instructions.

OzZySi - I used 2 kits, Road car and Castrol Race car, if you see anything I did that you want more info on, don't hesitate, just ask.

Good Luck

Richie

Woah, awesome thread ! Great build also!
Love what you did to it, it's extremely nice , I think I m in love :-)

where did you get that kit 3rd from the buttom the racing mk3 and do you wanna sell it for a high amount.if not where can i get it and i want to know the same for the mk2 u have.nice work on the supra i was converting my rims from male to female until a spider crawling across my head inerupted me :mad: .i havnt been back in sense. :crying:

Haven't seen this thread up to now (where have I been :rolleyes:)
Totaly insane ideas and execution Richie! Where is that rear wing from, it's huge.

Any progress on the Lancer WRC?

Nice built! waht color have you putted on the wing? it looks like goold... and it does not fit the red body... but that is my opinion.

Im guessing it is some kind of kevlar, same as the bonnet/hood. One upping the carbon fibre craze.

very nice progress, your bodywork and the color choices are spot on. One of my favorite contest entries!

Hi, me again!

Gonna answer a couple of questions first, then ask for some opinions.

RallyRaider :- Spot on! I decided that carbon fibre has been done, I used it on my last model, a Skyline, so yeah,thought kevlar would make a change. Also the wing. The Studio27 Supras come with 2, hi and lo downforce, therefore I had a couple laying around and thought what the hell?'. The Lancer is on hold while I get this done and then I will crack on with it. The problem is that as more and more pics are available, it gets harder and harder. My big dilema at the moment is the rear end, the front is finished, do I try to change the lights or not? And I am not sure whether to do that narrowing on the lowerhalf behind the rear wheel, I guess I will but I couldn't see it on the initial pics.

SupaMan89T :- Sorry man, not for sale! But I tell you what, get on to HLJ and order from there, they don't have them now but I ordered maybe 3 months ago when they were out of stock and a month ago got an email saying they were are their way. Try, you don't pay up front, so it's worth a go. Next I need to find the Tamiya Minolta Mk3 racing.

Now for you guy's :2cents:, I decided to go for black head lamp units instead of the usual silver, I know its only a minor change but these can make all the difference if it looks 'odd'. What do you think?

Oh and a week or so ago I put a 'how to' for the way I do door hinges in some thread or another, I will get some pics in here when the body comes back off for the glass fitting.

P.S. I know I post a lot but I like to be pretty consistent with progress threads, I think that way they are more interesting and sometimes more helpfull if somebody sees something that they may want to try.

Richie

Looks SO beautiful! More pics please!! :smile:

A grreat model here continue your work

That looks so SWEET! i love that car of yours;)

Thats just great! I love your work... puts mine to shame

A lot more progress today. Just the back half of the exhaust, rear hatch and spoiler and the diffuser to go. Hopefully done tomorrow night.

looks really good, i still am amazed by them turbos :smile:

Beautifull!

Ditto!

Wow man! I've been waiting for someone to do a nice clean widebody supra. She is beautiful! I love the operating doors! Keep it up!

Well, one last progress set before I finish the model and say "enough's enough, time for the next one!".

Will hopefully be all done tomorrow and some outside (if the weathers OK that is) pics for the comp thread.

Not much left, interior door panels, wipers, any decals that I decide on, a few touch ups and a good clean.
