Nice, but i should use the Spoiler that's on the box

[subcool]

The kit is made by aoshima but I think it's the same as AMT's f&f supra. Aoshima did this before with the original AMT f&f supra kit. Same tooling, different box. Easy way to tell if it is the same as the AMT kit is to check if it is 1/24 or 1/25. All of aoshima's kits are 1/24 except the supras that they borrowed from AMT. Also not many of aoshima's own kits come with complete engines.

The model is looking great so far! Could we see a pic of the wheels that came with the kit?

hmm..its a aoshima kit.. din pay attention to the box.. saw the f&f spoiler in the box so thought it was a amt kit..lol..rims rims..err.. the photo's not clear so.. ya.. painted the rims flat black.. or maybe gonna change the colour to probably metallic purple if i can...



oh ya... any colour ideas for the body? was thinkin of neon green,neon orange or briht red

[subcool]

Thanks for the shot of the wheels. They look very nice. As for body color, you will have to pick something that will look right with black rims. Some sort of a gunmetal or metallic grey might look nice. If your choices are only neon green, neon orange, or bright red, I would go with bright red. Good luck with the rest of the kit!

hmm... have to seal up the 2 holes where the spoiler tt came with the kit should be placed..and the 2 mold lines on the roof..



my 1st time usin putty..so..had to struggle with it..
