Tamiya Supra Project

I decided to get going on my Supra project.


Here's where I'm at so far. Starting with a Tamiya Supra kit



I really am looking forward to building the engine that comes in the base Supra kit, but the stock body isn't going to make me happy in the long run. I wanted something more stylish, without being too F&F. My SARD Supra's clearcoat had yellowed pretty badly, so I decided to cut the bumper off for my project, and I'm thinking the wing would be good as well.



I'm heavily considering a SAS supra hood, because I think the TRD hood would look really good for what I have in mind. I'll update more as I progress.

After test fitting the SARD bumper, I noticed my first real hurdle. The SARD bumper isn't long enough on the sides, and will require some customization.

Re: Tamiya Supra Project

Still in a rough state, I'm working to extend the bumper with styrene sheet.

Re: Tamiya Supra Project

looking great so far, I had this exact same project in mind, swapping all the bumpers and side skirts to make a TRD 3000GT replica

As much as I love the 3000GT, I want this to be different from it. I've been considering what I'm going to do next, while I assemble the small parts.

Thanks for the compliments!
