Wink Progress...Phantom TommyKaira FX-GT

Here is an ongoing project that I have. Started it about a year ago. Got around to some progress this year, finally! It's based on a WRC Corolla. Phantom... Because there's no such thing, it formed in my imagination. >euro Corolla - tuned by TommyKaira< The body kit is a custom, using Tamiya putty and cards. The interior is from a broken kit, I forgot which one. With a little putty and cutting it fits perfectly well.







Thanks for looking.
Comments, suggestions and criticisms are welcome!

It looks great. It's so clean! How on earth did you get it so tight? You've been sanding the hole year to make it look so nice didn't ya?

Hehehe! Basically yeah... but I have to still prepare it for painting and fill some imperfections on the body.

Your front valance is sweet, man--nice work. You've also got my favorite color combo in the interior--looks pretty clean from here. What exterior color and wheels are going on?

As for the body color I'm leaning towards midnight blue from Tamiya. And for the wheels... hmmm... I think I might go for some 19"s. Not too sure which ones yet.

Re: Progress...Phantom TommyKaira FX-GT

Really nice build there. I would however caution you on using such a dark colour after doing all that work. If i were you i would use a lighter colour so that all of you hard work will be more visible. I tried midnight blue on something myself once and it kind of hides alot of detail i think.
Just my opinion though so do as you please, and keep up the good work. That bodykit looks perfect from the pics.
