Time for me to have a go at building a ITR

[primera man]

The whole lot is painted by brush as i dont own a spray gun.

Its all done with enamels that are warmed up under a hot tap so they flow even better.
Also, as they take longer to dry it gives you a bit more time to get the paint looking good.

how did you do the little cap on the engine head (red stripe) so well I always scrap mine it is now being 11 time I do it and it is not correct

A very thin coat of paint so that it runs into the seems. Then painted with a small brush.

Got the wheels on last night to check the height etc

did you drop the front?

I think the type R wheel painted in white would look better ( but its your model)

The front was dropped just a little.

White wheels....i hate them !!!

[patate]

maybe red type R wheels could look good or the wheels you have now but in a charcoal shade?

not a big fan of Honda/Acura but that one of yours looks preety good there PMan.

Have to agree with patate, there is just something that seems OFF with those wheels. Can't put my finger on it though.


Maybe when it is finished it might look like a more cohesive unit.

Looks like it will be another great model when you are done. Nice detail in the engine bay. Keep us posted with pics as you progress along.

Good job on that itr Primera man. Did you thin your enamels too our just put them into hot water for a while and then painted? It looks very good. And what size brush did ya use on the seats?

[primera man]

The paints i left in hot water for 4-5 minutes.
Brush size was #2TAKLON SHADER.

Thought i'd add some nice dark tints today for a RICE look !!!

It was done with proper car window tint. The windows are nice and flat so you can get a good job done on them.

The green thing is tape which i used just to hold the windows in place to see what they looked like as all the window trims need painting yet
