Re: Drag Race Supra (sard/tamiya combo)

so i went in to try to paint over the mirrors and the spoiler, and half way through the process i realized that instead of the blue metallic, the store stocked DARK BLUE which looks pretty identical in the bottle, lol. needless to say i had to strip the paint, primer, and respray, but im glad i did. the paint came out even better. and i have an update also

ive been workin on this for a few days now and im pretty excited about how it came out, check this out






and the part that im reallly excited about





the parachute is completely scratch-built, i used a bunch of stickers i had to make it seem more realistic. the chute release cable is actually fed into the tailight keyhole just like in the real supras.


now all i have left to do is mount the front wheels, fabricate a fuel pump and run fuel lines to the engine bay, AND build the engine as it only has a BIG turbo/manifold and a carbon fiber valve cover. i will also need to mount the intercooler and make an exhaust.

what do you guys think?
