what colour You use for interior?

[akasha]

I used Tamiya XF-57 (buff) and X18 (semi gloss black) on the interior and TS45 Pearl White on the exterior

Lotz of views, but one reply? I know it's not that great, but figured it would spark something.

THX, It was pretty straight forward. The interior is pretty well detailed but the drivetrain and engine bay sux.

Hi, welcome to AF & great start for a classy car!

pardon me, it would be useful if you can include all the details pertaining to your build...like what kit brand, what have you mod or pure OOB, problems encounter during building...etc. talk about it what you like & dislike to create a conversation to all.

honestly, the first impression i have when i see this was.."is this a diecast?"

if it's a kit, it maybe easily available in your area but not in mine. i've never seen a STS scale kit here before, only diecast ones. this is one big international modeling forum bro, and i'm from singapore.

i hope with all this pointers you'll have a good stay here in AF.
cheers!

Sure no problem and thx for the welcome.
The kit is by revell (uptown) and is in plastic. They are on eBay all the time. Everything you see in the pictures is straight from the box, but I can’t leave anything “stock”. I have painted the rims partially black to offset all of the chrome and give it a little more sinister look. Other than that, the two tone interior with some BMF. I would have put a much more outlandish stereo in it if I were keeping it for myself, but all that stuff comes with the kit. As for the quality of the kit itself, well the interior is pretty nice, but the drive train and engine bay are all molded. I would say this should be like a skill level 1.5 haha. Everything fits together nicely though and the doors come with the brackets and all that straight from the box.

I am defiantly glad I found this place and plan on sticking around here for a while. I lurk around on scale auto but really don’t like the way things are dictated on that site, and the quality of builds here seem to be much higher as well.
