This is my next project. It is the Toyota Supra from Tamiya. I cant start on it right now because I'm waiting to get a new airbrush. I also am waiting for a resin kit, to copy the engine and some racing seats out of my silvia.:tongue:

It will be painted white with a carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber lip. I also bought some TE37 wheels that i plan to paint white. It will also have red racing seats.

Really looking forward to seeing more of this. Personally I'd have kept the wheels bronze but it'll be interesting to see them white to match the body.

I thought about keeping them bronze, but I have a 350z model, that is white withe the same rims, so I didn't want them to look the same.:)

here is an update.
I got the rims painted and the interor done. I also got a few suspension things done.

I'd have got rid of those air bubbles on the hood before clear coating it. When you sand it/compound, you might burn through to the decal and ruin it even more (I see you've made a few mistakes). Remember to cut slightly more than you need to so that the microsol (whatever decal setting solution you're using) can have space to move around/shrink/wrap around the part. Also I would probably clean up the interior too...appears to have some paint spillage on some parts.
Suspension looks great, and engine is super clean. You going to add some black wash to it at all? Oh and the white 37's look great :biggrin:

the clear coat is what gave it the bubbles
