Order came today!!!

[bri g]

nice batch you got there fotw! just want to add some thing regarding the C-West RX-7 since I'm working on that right now. What sucks about is that they don't include the louvered hood for it. The front air dam doesn't fit too well but workable. The side skirts are huge and look like big tables sticking out of the side so I'm sanding those down to make them look more realistic. The rear skirt is also quite "chunky" and will require some sanding to make them look more realistic. I also hate how the rear skirt covers the gas tank cover. I just stripped a poorly done mr-2 so I can work on that TRD wide body kit post some progress pics when you get yours started please? thanks I'm just wondering how much is shipping from england to the philippines? I'm certainly interested in all of your body kits! must be nice to get a free kit

Wow! your keen, i've not even begun it yet!!! But i'm itching to get started on this beauty!!!




I agree with what you say on the RX-7 but a great kit nonetheless.

Hey Chris my thoughts were exactly the same (...wouldn't mind getting started on this beauty...)
But then when the picture finished downloading I realised there was a car in the pic as well!!

thats a couple of sweet mister 2's you got for reference pics.

Think I like the look of the TRD kit better, good colors and nicer wing IMHO

[bri g]

That's a beaty alright! I'll take both car and model please

here's a great site that I found that has A LOT of reference pics Hope that helps! I decided to work on my mr-2 after it fell off a really high shelf and ripped the body into two pieces (which I managed to putty up already). So in 1/24 scale, that's like a fall from the 50th floor.

Do the LM-GT1 wheel looks like a 18" rim? Because aoshima and fujimi rims is kinda like 1~2" smaller. I got a 400R model in yellow,but I put the LM-GT2 .(too bad my cam is broken. I can't take pic and post it up.) Which R33 you ordered? Tamiya's R33? I made mine from fujimi because Tamiya R33 model doesn't look right. The rear is too high and not wide enough.

Have fun making it because the major mod drove me crazy.

Stay tune for my post. I will post my 400R later.

Nice order I just got done odering my stuff from hlj and then got on and saw your thread. I ordered the 3 piece wing set (I've had one before and liked it) like you and I also bought some nismo LMGT-2 (not knowing you just bought the 1's) anyways everything is fujimi except the wings. All the kits were only about 10 bucks, also I ordered the garge dioarama set casue I've never done one and I would like to try it. Heres my order list. I spent about 98.00 U.S. dollars excluding shipping and handling.
