Thanks for the pics. It was a really nice sunday, the weather was fine, the turn out was good, and the competition was amazing to see.. I took pics, but just random ones, will have them developed over the weekend..

Thanks for shareing this great ref pics.
But who will be able to reproduce those chrome gold decals. I think Aoshima will make only simple gold.

I love how they're called Top Secret, but their's nothing Top Secret about how they look. If someone would care to explain this to me, please do. Nice pictures too Hiro, I'm sure they'll come in handy.

Smoky, while working with that unnamed company, also began working on secretive projects and tuning vehicles at night. These projects were always referred to as Top Secret. When it was time to start his tuning shop, Mr. Nagata already had a name for his new project, TOP SECRET.

That looks to be the least of the worrys, thou we'll find out if they've cracked it when Nomura Skyline is released because the blitz decals are chrome effect too. I know its pre-production but its missing a lot of detail such as the boot lid

and the front bumpers a little sucky.
:shakehead

I'll let the wrong wheels slip as they've done this before.

I know there little things that can be easily fixed but its just a pain in the arse. May be i've been spoiled by the RS-2 kit LOL.

Ive got a load of referance for this kit ... Click (http://photobucket.com/albums/v482/v1nce/Topsecret_S15/)

Lets hope for a few AE86s and Kumakubo's Impreza :sunglasse

I was wonderind that how would it be possible to make this chrome gold finish.
One of my option is to cut the decals the use the negative shape as a template, than paint with alclad chrome than polish with SnJ gold. than cut the black edge of the decal and apply it. But this would be qiute complicated with the characters.
Second option would be to use Bare metal foil.

What do you think?
