Fujimi Spoon Civic Type R
started about 6:30pm March 1st.... have most all the little things painted...the chassis, interior and most suspension...
currently trying to keep my hands offa it long enuff for things to dry.... I happen to be wearing more red paint than the Recaro seats..... will be painting the calipers red(i have a bad habit of painting ALL calipers red) *will be posting pics as soon as i get at least the chassis done....maybe there will be a few shots of my still unfinished Alfa GTV(I refuse to paint any bodys until I get an airbrush, which is taking a while cause I forget to buy one every time I go to the hobby shop! duh!)

may I suggest you paint the calipers blue instead, cause that's the color spoon use for it.

I was thinking about that...I dont have any blue paint.... But Im heading to the hobby shop later, maybe i'll pick some up....thanx for the suggestion in the instructions.....It said to use Flat black, everything is very simple and basic, almost the whole car is flat black, I have used much artists discretion with painting things as I've seen fit(anything but flat black that is)

too much for the lack of detail.....the Tamiya Lan EvoVI that i got cost about 7 dollars less and is by far more detailed, both the model and the instructions... just my thoughts on it.... the Spoon Civic was definately an impulse buy....I shoulda thought it over and just got the airbrush that I so desperately need

i don't want to say waste.....except it doesn't work that well........the paint i guess doesn't get pressure and the propellant is wasted........i ran out of propellant and put off modeling for like 3 weeks!
