Tamiya Toyota Celica GT-S

[janositamas]

Hi Guys,

Heres my Tamiya Celica re-build. I made it years ago box stock, painted the exterior rust, the interior gray & brown with a little gold. Somehow I found out Im gonna remake it as I didnt like it that much. It was such boring. So I ripped off the paint, and paint it creme white this time. The interior is grey, black and the seats (both front and back) are rubyred. I changed the wheels (I guess they were originally BMW M coupe wheels) which looks much better because of their size. I left the original brakes. I tinted the windows at side (on the back), the rear and the roof one. It looks a bit more purple than smoke. I also tinted the taillights a bit, and painted the rear end of the car silver imitating aluminium plated diffusor, or at least something like that. I threw the emblem from the nose away, left the grille open instead of the original plastic grille, and cover it with mesh from the insdide. I had a red emblem from the Corolla WRC kit, so I used that.

I think, thats it, so here comes the pix:

Before:


After the plastic surgery:






Now I like it much better!

Thanks for looking!
