This is a recently completed kit. Built out of the box, nothing special done to it. Painted Tamiya TS-26 Pure White. It was a pretty easy build over the last few weeks. There were no fit problems with it and the decals went on fairly well. The only place that required any decal solvent were those small vents on the hood. Also, on those small vents, the one on the left side of the car (the one with the number on it) was painted Tamiya Racing White instead of Pure White because the number decal itself is an off-white color and I wanted the part of the vent that shows through to match the decal.

I'm not sure I'm crazy about the pictures with the dark background. It does give it kind of a unique look but I don't know if I like it or not. It gives the entire picture an overall dark look so I may redo them with a lighter background.

Thanks for looking....

Sharp! I think that, with that color, the dark background looks great.

Awesome build and pictures.
Makes me want to build one. Everytime I get the bug to try to do a model, winter comes.

Do you have any tips for spraying during the winter time?

Thx

Thanks Everyone for the compliments....

asaenz, I have to spray outside so winter is always a problem for me also. I'll spray even when it's in the 40's if I have to. Colder than that and I just have to wait for warmer weather. Sorry, I couldn't be much help but unless you have an area inside your house that's safe to paint in we're at the mercy of Mother Nature.

Supra looks great and the dark background really suits the white colour of the body. However if you're gonna use dark backgrounds try and get more light onto the car. Try and use a minimum of two lights or use a reflector ( or some foil on card) to bounce some light onto any dark spots.

Cheers
