Tamiya Supra Bodykit & buildup

SAS doesn't make any body kits for the Supra, just a hood. You'll have to make the bodykit yourself. I'll try and get the tutorial later.

i'm in the process right now of making a custom setup as well for an evo. to be honest, all you need is some styrene sheets (white and clear for your job) a dremel, knife, glue and alot of measuring.

I'll post some progress pics on my evo soon and maybe you can use that to get a better idea of what you can do

I see the search is broken again.:disappoin

does the AMT F&F Supra come with a body kit or is it molded to body? oh it might be 1/25 not sure but the only thing i can think of.

the kit is molded to the body

If you have any spare bumpers or kits u could always mix and match and make them to fit the supra.

Hi,

As has been mentioned, just get hold of sheet styrene, putty etc.
The Supra's a nice easy one to work with, in my case I also used sheet aluminium to get the sharp edges around the openings in rear of the front arches and the vents but it was pretty tricky getting both sides even.

Here're a couple of pics before and after paint to give you an idea.

I have an album HERE (http://public.fotki.com/xn12iipy/my_models/top_secret_inspired/) showing more of the build up including some early body work that may be of a little help.

Im working on a Toppless F&F Supra,(GTP Wbk, Drifter look) Like anyone cares... Damn I need to fix my camera.... :banghead:

Quick search found another thread in which:

Ok, everyone ready to cuss me out for saying this?

Please, search. There are plenty of threads about this. Just to prove it, I typed "body kit" in the search box right above the thread list. It returned 100 threads. Here are the highlights.

do i really need plastic styrene? (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=295876&highlight=body+kit)
This thread talks alot about making body kits. Further, it has imbedded llinks that take you to other good threads like Ratdat's Wide body 300ZX turbo (late Z31) (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=166816) (please do not reply to that thread).

Here is a thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=262169&highlight=body+kit) that g00ey started asking for the same answers.

Then I searched "bodykit," one word this time.

ground effects? (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=50161&highlight=bodykit) is the same question, again, but this thread has a great little sketch by our resident body kit manufacturer explaining how to do it. Fantastic!

Look, another thread here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=67381&highlight=bodykit) by GTRRR. Neat!

Feel free to search more, I didn't look at much more than the first page on each of those two searches. Try "Body kit, bodykit, body kits, bodykits, ground effects, custom bumper," and so on. I'm sure you'll find more information than you could possibly read.

Welcome to AF, the forum is a great tool. You can learn alot by reading what people say and what people have said in the past. I can't wait to see what you can do!

I know it's not a direct answer to your Supra thread, but the links in there should be very helpful.

yeah, I just have a hard time hacking up a $25 kit and end up skrewing it up. I like the kits available from SAS. Chris, you guys got it going on!!!!! I wanna see some different views of the 180SX kit though, they aren't real clear for the front end.

Hi. Here's my SAS 180SX if these pics help any. :2cents:

ok, how about aftermarket engine parts and such?

For imports? Not too many. You can try looking for some stuff by Renaissance on www.hlj.com, but I doubt you'll find a lot. www.scalespeedworks.com makes scale turbos and intercooler and a turbo kit for the Revell Civic and ITR.

not quite helpful enuf. how about sound items while we're @ it 2..

1. How about doing a little research (the search feature works ;) )
2. How about typing properly?

I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned the two Tamiya JGTC Supra kits.

Tamiya released a pair of curbside JGTC Supras, namely the Tom's Castrol Supra and the Denso Sard Supra. Both of these kits are widebody wildly "kitted" Supras. While the bodies are one piece on each kit, with some time and a razor saw you can adapt the JGTC parts to a street Supra.

yeah, i was lookin at those yesterday... some of the fenders were nice, but i couldnt find any bumpers that wer my style. thanx anyway tho

i was thinkin about using the kit from a 1/25 bomex supra with the fenders from one of the JGTC kits.. they look a bit like uksupraboy's fenders. do u think that this transpland would work??

anything can work with time and patience. i adapted the SardSupra fenders, sideskirts, and both bumpers to my 1/25 eclipse.
