Tamiya Xanavi Nismo Z JGTC 2004

[proosen]

Take a look here and you'll see that you don't have to paint the Tear-stripes at all. They're all on the decal sheet, you just paint the body red and silver as per the instuctions and apply the decals. Red stripes on the silver portions and silver one's on the red one's.

The tear strips are decals. Go here:

Then look up the 1/24 Tamiya kits and find the car. Then look at the instructions they have printed there. As you will see...very easy paint job.

This one is a bit harder becose of the Carbon Fiber and Photo-etched part.

the paint asked is TS8 and TS17

you also need many brush paint color + Glue + Super glue (for PE parts) and all other thing needed for medelling

You paint the whole car silver, or mask what will be red and just paint everything except the roof, hood and front fenders silver. Note my previous post in this thread about the red.
Use either Gloss Aluminum or Mica Silver.
It calls out for Mica in the instructions, but the Xanavi Skyline calls out for Aluminum, the Aluminum matches the decals, and I don't have any Mica Silver yet...
Then mask across the body line on the roof and mask the front door line, cover all the silver and shoot the Italian Red.
It is quite simple for two tone.
Decal sovent is a must.
I also suggest you paint the black window strip on the tops of the doors before you start decaling... - Mark

well, couldnt i just paint it black?
and photo-etched parts shouldnt be too much harder, just use super glue

[Asmenoth]

THe parts that are carbon fiber are usually painted semi-gloss black. Also, the kit doesn't include the photo-etch parts. But they are not too hard.

Make sure you test any decal solvents before using them too. Some Tamiya decals are very easy to melt with the likes of Mircosol.

ok thanks you guys, i'll try not to use decal solvent =)

Cotton swab will come handy. After placing a decal to the desired location, roll the cotton swab as you move it in outward directions. That'll get rid of excess water and air bubbles, which helps a decal adhere well and dries fast. You might accidentally touch it while working on another decal, but the dried decal shouldn't move around.
