It's not just the detail, you have to do ALOT of custom work too, for instance, the engine has been moved back, so if you wanna make this car , youre gonna have to figure out how to do that, and the suspension in mounted longitudinal, instead of the normal latitudinal suspension position., ALOT of work... I"ll be amazed if someone can pull this one off

Although ambitious, it wouldn't be the hardest custom job I could think of... Actually, it would be mostly tubing, a couple of custom RTV molds, and some aluminum sheet work if there is a kit out there with a somewhat accurate basic engine (maybe a Supra??) Is there?

The tamiya jgtc supra is curbside, How long would it take you to custom makle this? Well If you mix a supra model with an engine, an altezza,a jgtc supra,a f1 model, I think it can be done!

To do this Altezza is my dream. I have done most of the custom body kit, but nothing can beat a HKS Altezza. Th ebody finishing is already 90% done, only waiting for the decal to be print out and waiting for the BBR carbon fiber decals to arrive to my doorstep.
Why I'm such craze to do this project, I want to break throught my limit. I want to challenge myself to see where is my Limit
The body: if you are using a Fujimi Altezza RS200, basically, only 50% of the body are needed. The front spoiler and the wide body, only by scratch.
The axle and backseat had to scrape. Make a new set, rollcage had to build by ownself. The wheels had to use Aoshima Advan TCII rim set, you can't used stock, some modify have to done.
The seat and diffuser had done up already, waiting for more pictures to do the interior.
I know it sound crazy, and some might say I will fail. But if you don't try and how do you know you can't. Trying is no harm. At least you know where you stand.

By the way, now building a 'Hotwheels' 360 Modena Challenge '00, the interior is about 20% done. Not enough carbon fiber decal...

Sounds like the beginnings of a great model, and a better modeller!!!

thanks for the support. But Thug, $50 is not enough for my polyster putty...tha!!!
Maybe when finish, most of them had forgotten. But still, I will post it up to all AF to see.
