Re: starting my Tamiya r33

Hey there, i'll try to answer your questions to the best of my ability since i've built several R33s. The tamiya guide is pretty good when it comes to colours on the 1/1. I've always followed the instructions and found the colours to be nearly spot on with the real life counterpart. As for the badge i've found the best way to go about it is using the tip of a paperclip, dip it into the paint and do the areas in their respective colours. As i've mainly built out of box I don't have any pointers in terms of lowering the car so i'm afraid I cant help you there. Finally for techniques I didn't bother doing anything too extravagent. However some members on this site have gone above and beyond, so check out some completed build threas or the skyline meet thread. Hope this helps!
