New Project: Aoshima VIP Toyota Aristo..

Hehe...the way I figure, if this turns out to be really nice then wanting one will be just more inspiration for the next VIP car

Here's a pic of the body being primed, I primed all the sprues with Duplicolor Primer Sealer today (which is pretty nice, goes on very thin.)

I wish Aoshima molded the headlights separate so that it would be easier to BMF or chrome them.

Hey DL, how does the Duplicolor Primer/Sealer compare with their Sandable Primer? I recently got a can of the P/S, but the nozzle was fried (may have been dropped?) and it spit and sputtered and I wasn't going to use it in THAT condition. Does the P/S sand and smooth out as well as the regular old sandable primer?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

The underchassis is for all intents and purposes finished, wheels are put on. Decided to use the brembo brakes cuz the wheels won't fit right without them. Waiting for a non-humid day to spray the body, gonna do the interior in a tan/grey/mahogany wood trim.




The macro zoom on my camera sucks!!



Instructions call for lots of camber in the back.

Chassis looks very promising for the rest to come! Most certainly another cool model is in the making.

At least you have a camera!!

I also have this kit but theres one thing that i dont get. y do they give you and extra bumper and side skirts ? and in the intructions they tell you to glue them on but i think they wolud look weird just to glue them on
