Talking Need advice
Guys guys! I really want to make a model car this few weeks but none of the ones I have right now are ready (All under body work, hahaha, i mean putty work) and I don't want to spend every second of my free time on it. Is there anything you guys would recommend that is easy, fast, fun....that'll end up looking really awesome....something from Tamiya, not any race cars, not the new 350Z, not a R34, not a S2000, I'll consider the new age STI Impreza if there's no other choice.

Um, HELP Thanks all!

I think an F50 would go down really well, as would a 360. No one has done a thread on these yet!

I don't mean to be picky here, but how about not Ferrari
First thing tomorrow, I'm heading over to the shop and buy the first Tamiya kit that I like (that's cheap) LOL

How about the older '68 Skyline. I have the kit, but it's not on my top priority list. It looks great in the box. Full engine detail.

Yeah, I back up Jay on this one!

How does that make it past the "I don't want an S2000!" bit?
