Tamiya Toyota Supra
I dont have the supra itself yet. (already ordered it) But i decided to work on the turbo's. I havent seen many supras around here with custom turbo's. But, heres what i've started.
I will make all piping when i am able to work with the kit itself so all measurments are right.

Funny thing I noticed.. Could be just me..
FOTW rarely puts out kits, PMan does kits one at a time, and I can still remember their models like FOTW's awesome gunmetal skyline and Pman's "ugly duckling" mercedes that was totally slammed to the ground. But when I try to remember your models, I can't recall any, but the one I'm currently looking at.  |

Maybe because like this thread all his other threads are made and then just thrown away.
 He makes like 5 progress threads a week. And then he doesn't update them and makes another one just to not be updated. Am I right or wrong?

yeah, your right..
None of my models are really ever finished. Only do i call them finished if i run out of crap to put on them. As for the 1988 Mustang GT thread.. well... i wont be done with that kit for a long time (accidently melted it)

Re-think what you said, and realise, that when looking at those pics, saying you did a good job is ...
Funny ! Please, re-do it in a better way , I don't think I like it a lot . Olivier |
