Widebody kit

Im thinking of putting a widebody kit with a bodykit on my celica. Im not too sure about makibg the widebody part. I have no clue of how big of styrene to get. Im going to the hobbyshop today. Actually pretty quick so if anybody could reply that will be the best. Thank you. Im also not sure about the styrene size for the bodykit. The same as the widebody or not. I also dpnt know which primer to get. White or Grey? Thanks a bunch.

Careful with Squadron white, it eats away through styrene.

i am almost finished with the wide body on my revell civic hatch(3rd attempt)

it ends up alot nice if you use tamiya products

i used the basic epoxy for the large arches
and basic gray filler for the small stuff

i tried testors and the other stuff and dont even come

close to tamiya's quality

best of look on your project
