Snop Sniffing paint while you are typing, then visit the "Look Here First" FAQ Section of the Forum. Its on the Top of the first page :flash:

Your English teacher must be some lazy a**.:D
Anyway, welcome to the forum.
You sound like you know something about the products, you mentioned, but you don't know how to use them yet? Well, reading FAQ near the top of the board is strongly recommended, or you only get the same replies, "Read FAQ."
If you thoroughly read it, it should solve almost all of your problems.
And which color to use for the body and interior is totally up to your taste, but if I were you, I'd use white or tan for a metallic red body.

I always love it when you get noob's on the forum and they are demanding the world without reading the FAQ.
Mica red is dark metallic red, and if you have Tamiya paint, then look at the cap on the spray can and get an idea of what it looks like. The lids are not far off of what the actual color is.
As to what to paint the interior, when you pop open the box on your model on Christmas morning, there are instructions in there that will tell you how to paint it.
You can also go to a online shop like www.1999.co.jp to see if they have the kit there, often they will have copies of the instructions for you to view with the kits, if they have the instructions scanned and published on the site, then you can look at them there.
I am sure you will enjoy the model, only 10 days till Christmas:)

Generally, I refuse to swear on a forum, Jay and Warren know why, but for you I will make an exception, since you swore at me for no reason.
If you fucking well open your silly little fucking eyes and look on the Japanese page, there is a stupid fucking link to the right of the fucking page that will fucking well take you to the English site, would you like me to come to your house and do it for you too?

Thanks:)

*looks the other way*

Please, Mr. the_02094_man, do make sure to familiarize yourself with both the FAQ at the top of the forum, but also the AF Guidelines (the_02094_man), which you agreed to when you registered. ;)

Happy modeling! :)

you can't get into AF because it is too busy
That is one of the downsides of being a member of such a popular site....
From all the questions you have, you may as well send us the money you have since you can't seem to decide what you want and want us to decide for you.:)
If you want me to pick a kit, I want to build it;)
Buy the kit that interests you the most, that is the best way to shop, then you won't get bored building it because it was not what you wanted.

12-18-2002, 06:41 PM
Great choice:)
That's the spirit.
I am sure you will be happy with the kit, as you know, any questions you have, you are more than welcome to ask(and I promise I won't be rude or sarcastic in answering you;) )

IMO means 'In My Opinion'
Send P-Man a PM if you want to direct all those questions to him.
Clear coat is good, but it is personal preference I think, you could do a forum search on it to find out more, I don't use it myself.
Before you start drooling? Grab a towel and put it under your chin so you don't get saliva on the kit.

Yes Jay, that is all very well, but then he better be quick at getting the parts out the cellothane bags before he makes a complete mess:D :p

Actually, the true answer to the question would be another reason tothe read the FAQ!!!

Why don't you just try things out, experiment. Thats one of the fun parts of this hobby :D .

It sounds like you want everything done for you. There are people you can send the kit to for them to make it for you, you know ;) .

I think it's roughly something like this...

Hi, I got the model, and it's the bomb. I've done the interior first, because of the weather in Aucks, and I just primed the body today. Should I paint my mica red paint tomorrow?
I changed my mind about my next model. I'm gonna get the new 1/24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec 2. That's right, Vspec 2. I'm painting it white, when I get it too. And if I have some extra cash, I might get the Nissan 300ZX, but is that a good set, both of them? And is the 300ZX convertible good and easy too, because it looks way cool.......!?

Does that help? :D :D :D
I won't do this every time though...

You sure do have a different way of talking. I could understand it, if I could be bothered to read it all.

Geez mate, how many times do you want to change your mind on which model you want? Just get them all if you can't make up your mind.

I don't have a clue why its not showing up. Did you upload it properly? It will need to be 100x100 pixels big or less and will have to be smaller then 14Kbytes I think. If you upload it properly you will haev to ask Jay or another moderator to look into it.

That picture is too big, you will need to use Photoshop to size it down to 100x100. Then try to upload it and it should work. There is no need to contact Jay just yet, unless it won't work after you resize it.

You get a star when you get to 100 posts

In your sig you need to fix it up.
In the last [img] box in each pic you have to put a / in front of the i to make it work so we can see the pics. :)
