Lexus IS350 in progress....

Hi guys! After getting a big headache from the SLR, took a short break and now i'm doing another kit that is the Lexus IS350 from Fujimi. Hmm....Guess this round I will do the exterior first. Still thinking of the interior colour. Here are some of the pics I just took. Cheers!

Doing a pre-fit now.. Looking good.. not much mold lines to sand.

Then I saw the front bumper and Arggh...why is the plate frame mold on?

Looks good. The only real Lexus I'd consider buying at this point in the market (and if I were looking for a car). I like it in the silver-blue ("breakwater blue") with black leather.

This is a nice car, I hope it will be as nice to build as it looks.

I have been thinking about this kit myself.

good building :)

Ya... I kind of prefer this Lexus IS than the previous one. The automatic version has those shift paddles that makes it like a Ferrari or Lamborghini :grinyes: Hmm... I do have an eye for Pearl white...

I debating getting this kit, always liked the new IS350,

The antenna on the roof I believe is for the Navigation system and the Satellite Radio,

Yep, that's what it's for. My dad's A4 has one; we call it the Shark Fin.

Nice someone started one, i need to get my hands on one. You should fill in the front where the plate is soppoused to go. Keep us updated.

Some progress today...

Under carriage of the Lexus IS350 done!

Time management and muti-tasking! :grinyes: I'm doing a Ferrari 575 Maranello at the moment also! The under carriage of the Ferrari 575 is 75% done :grinyes: Brakes? You don't wanna see them haha....they are plain brakes. Hope the deluxe version of Fujimi Lexus IS350 will have a better brakes :wink:
