sorry about the blurry pics

wow looks beautiful you cut and polish or no?

nope. Im suprized on how good the paint came out. The car should be finished by the end of the night, if not sooner. so i will definetely have pics up

WOW I love that color!! Great job so far!

Nice work but your pictures are too large.

I liked the blue/white paint scheme!... :lol: Nice color anyway, and nice shine! Can't wait to see it done!!

Yeah, paintjob is great!

beautiful color. i love it. nice shine and everything, lets see a mock up with the rims.

Very nice shine.

whoa...that's like pman shine! :biggrin:
Did u have to sand the primer and stuff to get dat shine? can't wait to see this one finishsed!

Ok i just completed it about 3 minutes ago, but im tired as hell so pics will be up tommorow :) I did sand the primer so that it wasnt rough. then i put a coat of aluminum down then the duplicolor pearl red, when i take pics ill take em outside so you can see the pear/aluminum :)
thanks for the complements

peace out

That car looks very promising. Very shiny paintjob.

Are you going to paint the lights? And do you know how to resize your pictures, they arent cropped at all and they are huge.

looks good, but you need to paint the tails and the head lights.Also it would look better with the pannel and window lines painted.

overall looks like a nice build

this was my first kit i ever did, so i didnt really go all out like i wouldve on my next kits. i thought that the lights came wit decals cuz it shows it on the instructions (but i cant read japaneese so) maybe ill do somethin but i dont know. Im happy with it :)

Looks very nice. I agree with what was said above. A little touch ups are needed. The white rims looks great on this car with this body color. Very nice car.

thanks, the only problem wit me doin touch ups is im gonna have to take off the tail light whic i know is going to snap in half :(. but i thonk ill do some touch ups in a couple days :)

If you used to much glue it will. If you used just a few small drops it'll come right of if you put a small needle or sharp modeling knife between it.

i barely put any glue on it its just the fact that the plastic is so skinny in the middle :( Hang on im gonna try it out............................................... .................................................. .................................................. ..............NOOOOOOOO damn, it broke, i accidentally moved the exact-o-knife to where it put pressure on it and it broke in the middle :( hopefully the paint will cover it up some :)
peace out

Wow! nice and shiny. Some pictures make the car look so real! Good job! Yea...u should definately paint the taillights and the headlights. IMO your RX-7 would look even better if u lower it a bit. U make me wanna buy this kit real bad... good job and keep it up. :p
