This is my new project.

The Toyota Supra from Tamiya:

What's inside of the kit?

I think the Supra is just beautifull from itself. That's why I'll keep it mostly stock.
The original wheels are a pain in the eye, so I changed them for Pegasus 23'' Phat Daddies.

I also have a custom made exhaust.

The body will be painted metallic black.

I love Supra's, they are beautiful cars. Are there going to be any custom parts under the bonnet?

does this kit come with a turbo?

Last days I painted the body Metallic Black.

Today I added some CF on the frontlip and some manufactor logo's on the sideskirt and rearbumper.

1 micro mistake. I think I'll leave it or paint it gun metall. It's hard to see in real life.

I hope to clearcoat it monday.

Kris.

Good job with the CF decal :bigthumb: , the overall style is perfect :sunglasse

I worked on the supra last days. I clearcoated it with Gunze Gloss clear. It was the first time I used this clearcoat but I think Tamiya's clearcoat works better....

When it's completly dry, I will polish the body. (maybe this weekend)

Kris.

Might just be the light, but it looks a bit yellow in those last pics. Like the rim choice and the cf work. Are you going to keep the interior stock too or "race it up" a bit?

Realy loving the color on this one!

Keep it up ;)

I think it's the light :P It's really black in reallife....

the interior will be stock but maybe some CF details. I think I paint it black/red.

Kris.

Yesterday I polished the body.

After that I painted the windowtrims semigloss black.

You can still see some polishcompound in the panellines :P I'll remove it tonight.

Now it's time to do some work on the engine...

Kris.

Not interesting enough guys?

I finished the engine today. I kept it stock with an carbon air-intake.

Kris.

Looking way too clean :tongue:

Yes, way to clean...throw some dirt at it!

kidding, kidding!

You must have posted the polished body pics when the site was being slow, or when everyone was at work. I personally LOVE what you are doing here. I can't wait to see more progress. God knows the only progress I ever see is from other people....than me that is.

don't worry, the work you're doing is great.

I gotta say, I remember your first builds, and you've gotten so good by now.

Great pictures, and wonderful builds.
I usually view your threads.

I love the fine detail work you show. I can tell you are very meticulous and it is certainly paying off. Keep up the good work!

After a bussy period, I tryed to do some work on the Supra last days.

First I painted the chassis flat black.
Now I can paint the engineroom and put the engine in it.

I also lowered the suspension. In fact I placed the discbrakes higher in the wheelbay :) Simple but effective :D

You can see the exhaust hanging on the pics. I made a custom exhaust because the original looks like nothing. I also weatherd the exhaust and also the chassis.

Now it's time to finish the body and start working on the interior.

Kris.

Looking good but I'd have gone with PE brakes. Those kit parts look too plain/plastic and seem to take away from the "realism factor" :smile:

Nice job, the carbon looks sweet in the engine bay!!

that looks AWESOME.

I'm about to start on mine, BTW what color interior are you doing. I plan to do dark gray and light gray with red racing seats.

very nice indeed
i never liked the supra...
but after seeing numerous nice models here i'm starting to like it

Looks great man. The engine detain is very top shelf.

I just finished the interior.

I used brown/creme for the main colours. Black interiorflocking for the carpet and thrunk.

I used a radiofront, sportsteeringwheel and some PE Sparco pedals from CrazyModeller.

I also completed the whole car :D So watch the completed section for the final pics.

Kris.

WOW! that interior looks FANTASTIQUE! its so clean!

Great work so far - will have to go to the completed section right now. I think this Supra would have to be one of Tamiya's best ever kits, and you have done it justice.
