Progress: Aoshima VIP Celsior C-Type
Well while I am painting the Yenko body I wanted to start something I have always wanted. I went to the LHS and finally picked this up
 I have wanted this kit for like a year now but I never got it until now! Building american cars got kinda boring anyway and I have always liked japanese executive sedans. Look for pictures as it goes on. Last edited by ProspectZero; 08-14-2004 at 08:23 AM.

Yeah it looks like a lot of fun to build, I just hope I can do almost as well as you did on your Devils Celsior. By the way since I cannot read Japanese can you tell me what colors I need to usefor everything, all I see are little boxes with shades of grey and then little numbers besides them such as PH[8] etc...

Arent they Gunze paint codes, not sure. I mainly only use Tamiya & Alclad paints, Tamiya rattle cans for the body then Tamiya acrylics on interior & Alclad paints for exhausts & stuff.
Good luck, Mike

Well I use testors and I do not have any money to go out and buy all this new paint so I have to work with what I have for now. Is there a site that has all of the paints in english so that I can match the paint codes and figure out what colors I am supposed to use? I am going to take this car nice and slow to make everything perfect, oh and by the way I know I misspelled 'Celsior' on the title, I tried to fix it but it wont make the change :shrug:

  I still have a lot to do on the wheels, and the front two brakes you see here are no where near done, but the wheels and brakes should be done by later today.

if you can get hold of one of those blue humbrol books it has a page with all the testors, gunze etc with humbrol equivalents(sp?) next to them.
good luck chris
