Time for me to have a go at building a ITR

[primera man]

Well it's time for the PMan to start the next project.
This is the last kit that DVS sent me(thankyou again ).
I know most have built one so there's not really much to tell about this kit.
Plans for it are nothing special.

I've been thinking about the final colour and have had many ideas floating around but in the end(call me boring !!) i will end up doing it white.

The reason being, its already molded in white...... i have never done a white road car before(beleive it or not !!).....and most of them here in NZ are white.
Also i want to use the red decals that come with it....and having it white will make them stand out really well.
It will be lowered as far as it will go, as i want it to have a really low slammed look
Dont know which wheels to use yet...probably be the TypeR ones, but painted either in a dark gun metal or in a silver alloy.
So far the body has been sanded and primed and all the other parts have had seem lines etc removed ready for painting.

Usual updates will follow

Revell or Fujimi?

I just got a Revell ITR, it arrived in the mail today i am pretty happy with the kit. Ill use the type R wheels...painted white... to look like powder coated rims. I wanna lower it just to look cool :sun: . Im going to paint the body blue maybe...

Most of the kit will be built straight from the box as i pretty much like the way it already is.
Interior will be a mix of either greys and blues or....... greys and reds to match the outside.

P-man, I just found out by comparing with the Fujimi decals, that the Revell Type R side decals are too big....yes, even bigger than the Fujimi ones. 1/25 bigger than 1/24, go figure

It does make you wonder alright.

WOW....This really is a great little kit by Revell.
Been working on it non-stop and its coming along really well.
The engine is all finished and the engine bay detail done.
Interior is almost done to.
Underneath is finished and now awaiting what sort of wheels to go on it.

Been really shocked at how well things have gone together...parts fit together and dont need sanding etc etc like the older Revell kits.

The body has turned out really well.
Sprayed in Pure White.
Have used the "taller" front spoiler but filled the holes as they were not very well molded and i couldn't get them looking just right.

Hopefully get some pics up later on tonight.

got any pictures? I am working on my second ITR this time I am doing a few changes. Mostly paint color changes thinking of trying to build a 6 point rollcage but it looks more like I will build a four point cage as I see a tight fit between the seats and doors. I am painting it testors Sapphire blue metal flake with a turqoise and white interior.

Looking good , but i can't judge on the color , as i think it's not natural light in the photos

Damn Pman that is one tidy looking engine bay and interior.

Is it hand painted or sprayed?
