First Model: R33 Skyline

Here's the first car model I've ever build. Followed most of the steps in the F.A.Q hopefully my next model (Aoshima C-West Rx-7) will be better than this one. I've learn from mistakes on this model. i.e: Enamel paint, no primer, no sanding, no compund, superglue on windows etc. lol didn't turn out half bad.

Well done for a first model~
The seats are a little to glossy, you should use flat red next time.

yeah, actually it is a flat red, I think it's the enamel that makes it so glossy

Naaaa, its gloss, trust me, enamel doesnt make it glossy/non glossy its just the type of paint (what it is made out of) , if it says flat red on the bottle, its wrong.

oops almost forgot, great job on your first model!!

Awesome work here! You're playing it smart by not building a full bodykit for your first model. Looks like you're hitting the basic really well! KEEP IT UP! Looks way better than my first model!

While I think it's an awesome attempt for a 1st model and looks very good- might I suggest using clear red and clear orange for the lights and indicators????

I definatly agree !
There's nothing to say "that part s wrong or this should be that .. "
It's a nice, clean and well executed build up !

Bravo !

One remark; the orange lights seem a bit red to me (but that's just a picky detail ! )
