Tamiya's Nismo R32

[SuperMele]

Time for a new build, Tamiya's 1/24 Nismo Custom.



Aftermarket decals from Tabu design:



Didnt like the side skirt extensions that come with the kit, so left them off the body.
Sprayed grey tamiya primer first to check for errors. Afterwards white fine tamiya primer.
Still prefer tamiya spraycan primer over zero primers...
Used zero white and a layer of 2k clear as a base for the decals.
Decals still need to be seales with 2K.





With hood:





Thats the first update!

Wow love the chrome work on the turbos and exhaust. Looks great and yes, white wheels FTW 😂

Meanwhile painted the windowtrims, and other details semi gloss black.
Black windowtrims on a white body requires a lot of patience and masking to get a clean look :roll:

Head and tail light units recieved a layer of alclad chrome instead of the X11 as instructed on the manual:







Wheels and discs are done:
