BTW, I'm new here :)

Are there any bodykits available for the Tamiya Supra?

Welcome to AF!!!:wave:
Nice job on your skyline, I like the carbon-fber hood!

Thanks :D

is that the Tamiya Supra? If so, where did you get that wing from, I'm pretty sure thats not the one that comes with the model...

Welcome to AF :D

The white makes the car very special:) (So used to seeing blue skyline here on the forum)
Very clean! I like your Skyline. Good job!

Here's a link to my Supra (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=57886) and Civic (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=61310) for some more pics of the wings. And yes the Supra is the Tamiya kit.
These are pics of the Aoshima GT Wing set which can be purchased at HLJ (www.hlj.com) Here's a direct link to them http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?AOS30226
It's a gatta have.

Thanks

Now I just need a credit card LOL

Maybe I can find a distributor here who can order it for me:smoka:

ANOTHER KIWI!!!!!.....And your just down the road from me too!!!

Welcome to AF. :D

At the moment all i see is a white box with a red X in it :(

*EDIT* DONE!

You can upload the pics for free at automotiveforums.com/upload

Now i see them :) , and they look bloody good too.
The think the white looks good with the bonnet done in black

Good stuff :)

Thanks P-man

Actually, I'm not really a Kiwi, I'm actually from South Africa :) Been here 3 1/2 years...

Looks like the Mines R34. Nice work, is this one of your first models?

Very cool! Would like to see some better pics though!;)

This is only my 2nd car model (not counting a Burago snapkit Citroen) but I've built about 20 or so aircraft before this.

I'm really into building cars at the moment though.

The last one I built was the Revell BMW NAZCA M12 (ill fitting parts, yech...came out alright though).

I quite like the Tamiya curbside kits, since I'll be setting up some dioramas once I have more models.

Actually..... you can go to the post office and use a Money Order, just as long as when you make your order at HLJ, you set it up as Money Order for payment method.

nice lookin model man... I really like the change in colour for once, everybody here seems to like blue R34 skylines... and I like the CF hood too great job

Looks great, and the bonnet really suits. Love white as the colour.
Just a few constructive suggestions...
The wheels would look better in the standard gunmetal colour, as they would suit the dark hood better and compliment the pure white paint. As it is it looks a bit glitzy when it should look mean.
Also I would change the twin pea shooter exhausts for a fat tip. Both those mods would give it a much meaner look. Especially as the Japanese never leave their cars standard!

Nice work Toksin.

WELCOME TO AF Modelling forum, enjoy your stay

To be honest, I was a bit worried about getting the paint mixture wrong for the gunmetal, plus I like the chrome, it looks good IRL, webcam fucks the pics up unfortunately.

As for the twin pipes, I prefer them to fat tips, but thats just me...who's to say its not an aftermarket Rhemus twinpipe? :P
