Better find another hobby then. Models are expensive, you go cheap you get shit, you go expensive you get quality. I remember someone doing the same thing as you and man, did it look horrible. I say just spend $3 and get some CA and Styrene.

I guess no ones interested in my celics .... well for those who are here are some more pictures ... sorry yet again no outdoor pix!







In this last one i was trying to get a good view of the carbon fibre hood

COMMENTS PLEASE!

I like the paint scheme

[KustmAce]

You should get rid of the holes where the spoiler was though. Fill them with bondo or epoxy putty.

[mike@af]

Fill those nasty holes. I also would suggest a new intercooler. Otherone looks so fake.

I do like the paintscheme though!

[FlySkyline]

A new intercooler would look good. As far as the holes for the spoiler, I think he might be putting the wing back on, other wise he might have already filled the holes.

But I like it wingless

[sneiser]

was going to be putting another wing on ... but have yet to find the one i like ... i would like to find like and evo wing or someting .... but ya i have yet to do any engine work and an intercooler is on the list no dout!

[KustmAce]

Leave the wing off. And you can find an intercooler lots of places.
