Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Hi to all:
Here are a couple of pictures of one of my ongoing cars! Presently the body of the MR-2 is beeing striped of the paint 'cause the clear coat reacted with the TS light metalic blue and ruined it! I've to find a less agressive clear!!          Hope you like it Cheers Marco Preto

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
That dash looks VERY nice! I love these cars, looking forward to more! Did you make those wheels?

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Thanks for all your comments.
The wheels are indeed from the racing EG6 kit, but I haded a plastic card strip to allow the use of wider tires (that I also had, leftovers from another built). I'm still striping the paint the sw20 body frame (Tamiya lacquers are very resistant to hipocloride, but the primer I've used is not, so I have to wait until all the primer is attacked, under the tamiya color). The body seams to be ok, and only the wing seams to need some sanding, but nothing to drastic. I hope to post some pictures soon. Cheers Marco Preto

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Nice work! Really like those rims and the blue paint. Good work on the interior aswell.

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Lovely! How did you do the white lettering on the instruments? It looks amazing.

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
The striping isn't finished yet! The hipochloride solution works very slowly.
Tamiya lacqers are very resistant to this method of striping!!! But I hope to be ready to prime the body next week! All the whit details on the dash board were done with a fine bush (number 0). Cheers Marco Preto

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Finally an update!
Stripping the paint left some marks but fortunately not very apparent. Here are some photos of the repainted car! Some details are still to be haded in order to finish it.    Cheers Marco Preto

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
It looks very cool, this shade of blue suits the car very well!
How did you make the 'glassy' look of the instrument panel? It looks like the original one...

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Nicely executed, the paint came out nice. Also the interior is clean and simple. Looks great, one thing i would mention though would be to lower it a bit. Excellent mazda!

Re: Toyota MR-2 (SW20)
Paint looks really good. I agree about the stance; it's sitting like a rally car.
