Thanks for the ideas guys, it helps alot.
I ordered the kit just last night, with the choice of one week shipping 3-5 days, so I hope to get it starts soon, so look for a thread in the progress session in about two weeks or so.
Yeah i decided, im gonna go with automotive paint
either...
KH2 Gunmetal Grey
732 Black Pearl Metallic
I can't decided between what tho... but those are the paint codes and imma use that for this model.
For primer im gonna use gray, b/c its nutural color, if I use white, then it might come out a bit brighter... i donno if i want that for gunmetal to be a little lighter.
I used the Tamiya Gunmetal in my older R32 from tamiya, yeah its a lovely color, but it does not work well with automotive two part clear coat. So the paint im going to use for the body will all be automotive paint.
The interior i think im going to stay with the color call outs from the Tamiya kit along with my reference magazine about GTRs... hopefully I can get it right with the colors.
I saw the pictures from the link, thanks cph81, they are great, I will try to emulate that engine bay =D haha, I think every modeler got their own ideas about that super detailed engine that we can play with.
One note tho... the doors and hood are seperate, so should I paint them when I connect them on? or do them seperate? that is something I was thinking because then I would have to paint it in a same stroke manner? to match the body?
I thank you guys for all the imput
btw, jay and cph81, your models are absolutely lovely =D , I am a GTR fan and I just hope to do what cph81 can do, when I have time, towards this summer, when I complete all my GTRs from tamiya, I will post them. So far I got the colors from Nissan and so a Mightnight purple R33, a Gunmetal R32, and a Bayside Blue R34 is comming along! So with this big 1/12 scale GTR, I also got three small GTRs comming =D, hope to encase those soon =D
