Re: Lexus LFA
Suspension/driveline, top view.
 Bottom view…  And installed into the chassis.  Door panel. I added the speaker decals, kind of surprised they did not provide any in the kit…  Seats are installed. Same red as the carpet, minus the texture.  Clear coated the body…

Re: Lexus LFA
The speaker decals came from the Tamiya 350Z. I used Testors Guards Red Enamel.

Re: Lexus LFA
File this under "shit-happens".
I used some Strip Kleen lacquer thinner to cut the TS-45 Pearl White when I was airbrushing the body. The white on the hood came out of the spray can only. But it turns out the thinner is no longer crystal clear, (thanks to the California EPA) but has a slight amber tint to it, enough to change the color in this case. As you can see, the hood is whiter, and truth be told it is what I would have preferred, but it by far easier to adjust the tint of the hood.  I knocked the clear on the hood down with 1200 and mixed a new batch of pearl white by eyeball with the “yellow” thinner and airbrushed it.  Then clear coated it. I really thinned the clear out this time. 3 parts reducer instead of 2 like the rest of the car, (the clear doesn’t even need reducer). I put on four light coats with 20 minutes flash time between them to get a thin yet deep enough look.  Only a little one day delay. Now I am back on track…

Re: Lexus LFA
Dash is done…
 And installed into the completed interior…  Valve covers are done and the decals have been applied to the calipers…  Some underhood details too…   And the rear wings… One for “up” and one for “down” positions.

Re: Lexus LFA
The screens are mostly PE (except the two main rear vents, although they have little PE parts in them) and are very well done, both in look and fit. They are very delicate too, but a light touch and you’ll have no problems. The lights also fit excellently and are engineered to make installation relatively easy.
  Once the decals dry, it will be waxed and have the windows installed and put onto the chassis and interior.

Re: Lexus LFA
It is somewhat of a shame that so much of the chassis detail is covered up by the belly pans. So one last look to the detail parts before they go into hiding…
