Mazda RX-7 FD3S Triple Build

thanks admin.

Found out that I've miss a few updates here, sorry.

Disaster happens earlier, I over-sand the gold FD till the primer, but it's now fixed


a different gold compared to my Diablo SV


a picture of my current WIP that waiting to be clear-coated


and.... disaster again, the Superclear III "eats" through the clear yellow layer and even till the black base in certain areas... T_T
I've let the clear yellow dry for 3 weeks, so the only reason that I can figure out that will cause this is I'm using clear yellow from industrial spray can.

while thinking of what to do on the spoiled gold FD, i continue with the rear lights of the Magenta FD, holes were drilled for the rear lights parts


changed the stock rimes to 18" Work Meister S1 from Diablo SV


Finally I've decided the color, matte gun metal, got this idea from a friend.


and to match the matte body, I need something striking, so I go for chrome magenta rims.


I scraped of the paints on the lug nut to reveal the chrome coating


the paints of the outer ring were scrape off as well.

clear parts have a fine scratch on it.... need to polish


while waiting the paints to dry, I began works on the interior. Black will be the major color for the Gun Metal Aoshima FD


as for the Green FD, i added some colors, the seat belt holes are also drilled.


I use only part of the dash board decal, the radio part totally don't fit as the molding line on the kit is distorted.


here's the final combination.


In fact i didn't scrape off the color on the rims for the other side, so that the car have 2 different looks, just like my previous car (1:1 scale)

Colors are awesome. Especially the purple. It is really deep. Keep up the good work.
