Finished --> Bomex RX-7

Hi guys.

Well finally it's finished. This is the Aoshima Bomex RX-7. I've been busy with it since december last year. Took so long because of some problems and waiting for stuff to come in. The progress is in here:

Well that's about it for the mods. Color is Tamiya TS-17. Had some problems painting it. That's why it took so long as well. I airbrushed the interior (first time ever) and I really likes doing that. All together I'm pretty happy with it. The paintjob is the best I've done so far. It's definitaly the best model in my collection so far.

Well enough talk, here it is:

The model looks good, but the wing looks a bit strange to me.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Wheelin75, I know my models are becoming better and better. Just like Veyron always says: There's a lesson in every model. I always try to make some lessons out of every model so can improve my skills. Besides that it's a challenge to me to make every next build better then the last one. The wing was also just a test. I got the idea from Steve (Hiro) and was just playing with some styrene. This thing came out. Some people like it. Some don't. I like it a lot. In my eyes it's not overdone though it catches the eye... Thanks for the comments again. Cheers!

super sexy! :naughty:

Nice looking work

That's awesome, wing fits it like a glove.

Great work Bas! I think that TS-17 looks beautiful on this one.

I was very happy with the 916 when it was finished. Though I've learned so much the last year and improved my skills a lot so I'm doubting about building another one but better.

The R1 is my best overal model so far. I still lov e it. Though, it isn't in my collection as it was a gift for my brother :screwy:

Nice work Baz, that looks tuff :smokin:

I really like the interior work with the subs/amp, exellent...

cheers stump :aus:

Nice work!

Very nice,I love the mesh in the front openings.I didn't think of opening the vents in the front bar on mine.Great idea.
