Guys guys! I really want to make a model car this few weeks but none of the ones I have right now are ready (All under body work, hahaha, i mean putty work) and I don't want to spend every second of my free time on it. Is there anything you guys would recommend that is easy, fast, fun....that'll end up looking really awesome....something from Tamiya, not any race cars, not the new 350Z, not a R34, not a S2000, I'll consider the new age STI Impreza if there's no other choice.
Um, HELP Thanks all!:)

I think an F50 would go down really well, as would a 360. No one has done a thread on these yet!

I don't mean to be picky here, but how about not Ferrari :D
First thing tomorrow, I'm heading over to the shop and buy the first Tamiya kit that I like (that's cheap) LOL:)

How about the older '68 Skyline. I have the kit, but it's not on my top priority list. It looks great in the box. Full engine detail.

OKOK, 2 days back, all I had in mind was the STI WRX...but when I saw the wheels on this S2000.....must have it for my mugen ITR, LOL!!!
hahaha, so actually, I brought this kit because I wanted the wheels, but I will still build car, don't worry
=P and I couldn't find the STI WRX anywhere!! it was....360 Coupe, 360 spider, 360 yellow version, 360 red version..... GOD 360 everywhere! and they weren't cheap either.....$60CND each

ive got a question about the new s2000 hard top kits. do they come with parts to make the convertable s2000?

The Tamiya S2000 kits comes with both hard top and convertable to choose from! and the Type V comes with VGS steering wheel and gold plated Mugen rims along with the regular wheels
66cents :D hehehe, if the decimal moved another space over, 6 cents!
Guiddy! Damn lucky
