In progress: Toyota Supra

[tomtheman2]

I started to build this model about a year ago but then i just left it, but now i have almost finished my first engine. i dont know what colour to paint it yet but im sure it will look good.



When i took it out of the packaging, to my dismay, i found a huge bit missing from the bottom on the chassis. Im not sure if there was a problem with the machine that was making it or something but i think it spoils it from the back and bottom.


Hope you like it

holy cr*p! That's a huge chunk!
Does the the edge of the gap have soft edges, or jagged ones, which could imply if it was broken or just wrongly molded.
I'd at least order a new part, and try to get it for free if it was a mold error.
Anyway, underbody looking nice apart from the gap. Also if this is your first engine you did a great job! Are you going to add hose and wires, or will you be saving it for a later build?

Thanks for the reply, i know i should get a new piece for it but the kit is so old and i would have to spend ages again painting and building the suspention.

I have put a couple of wires in but im not sure if they look right or not. Also i dont know where to get some hose from or where to put it!

Thanks for the good advice, and the edge of the gap is smooth.

Thanks Tom


I had to sand and repaint some of the engine to make it fit underneath the hood.
Im not sure if the wires look right or not, and i still need to do some more layers in area's

it was probably the bomex supra kit from aoshima

[g00eY]

they came with the kit. it's a AMT-ERTL Fast and the Furious Supra kit. i'm sure the Aoshima one has them, too, since they are copies.
