Re: ARTA NSX 2005 - Tamiya - 1/24

Headlights finished however I am not happy with the result. Next time will be better.
Nice thing is that all of the body decals are on!



I have started playing with the front windshield. Cut off redundant part which does not exist in the real car.



Next - painted with Gunze Semi Gloss Black/Tamiya XF1 and decaled.



I have also painted rear light panel. I am pretty sure that Tamiya's manual has an error. It suggests to paint it X-7 which will result in shade similar to car body. As you may see on the pics it is different. I think that Tamiya is about right in case of Raybrig version not ARTA.



I used Gunze Whine Red. The lights will be toned down with clear red.

Next details: tow hooks

Front - real car.


It seems that both PE and box part are not 100% accurate in case of front hook. I will try to modify box part and will see. I not sure whether is worth that hassle
