Red Devil MR2 Finished! *Pics*

At long last, I finally finished my first custom kit. Not the most perfect of jobs... lots of room for improvement.

In particular, the signal and taillight lenses aren't done very cleanly. The black panel in between the taillights slants very slightly to the right because my masking skewed. Seats done in gloss, not matte. Paintwork has swirls in it because the polish i used was a little too coarse. Now that I look at it, I think I overdid those big-ass exhausts... shoulda made them a little more discrete. Windows coulda been done better too.

The wheels of 18" *ahem* are Blitz BRW-03 aftermarket items from HLJ. The car was lowered not once but twice because the first time I lowered it, I test fitted without the interior in place. After putting the kit together, it gained about 2mm in height, so I had to lower it yet again.

Looks good to me. I like with the wing much better. I'm the same way with models. I never think that they are good enough and friends and family end up telling me I'm nuts. I just learn from my mistakes and keep making them better every time. Keep it up! :bandit:

AH! One nice looking model, the same thing happened to me on my Silvia. Except mine went up about 6 mm
