WIP-Celica SS-II with custom bodykit

[Andy Jones]

Originally started this one in April 04 - it's the venerable Tamiya kit from 1993 moulded in red plastic (but at least it's got an engine).
I never got round to making the second side skirts & then lost interest in it. Stylewise the bodykit is roughly based on the one on the Garage Mak Silvia & the left over plastic front/rear bumpers from the Fujimi kit were used as a starting point - the rest is made up of Tamiya Epoxy putty & plastic card :


After final shaping and the colour coat :


The hood, stock wing and mirrors are missing as despite liberal coats of grey then white primer the red plastic still bled through (damn you Mr Tamiya!) so I need to do them again - if all else fails I could use c/f decal on the hood but I'd prefer not to as I think it'll break up the lines too much.
Thanks for looking.
Andy

It looks really nices, i liked the first set of rims thou, they look more racy. also, if you don't mind, in my opinion, with the actual look of the bodykit, the spoiler you have wont match so much with it, you could use insteal a lower profile wing, like this one from the bomex supra

Sorry I didn't make it very clear in the original post but I plan on using the stock wing which is lower than the Supra one in the 1st 2 pics.
