New Kits on the Block

Gainsbourg · #1 11-03-2002, 07:14 AM

Just arrived from Hannants and to my local model store.
The Mugen NSX will be a hell of a project since is body colour is pure white! All the rest are decals.
Do you know if there is some colour to paint the blue in the Minolta Toyota or it really must be a mix of two colours (X-14:5+X-4:1)

Nice selection!

I think someone mentioned before that there is a specific colour for the Minolta????

Looks good!

For the GT2, What about doing a different colour scheme like the one I've attached? renaissance did this decal sheet some time ago and the rear wing top plate is included as a resin part.

What happend to the Corolla?

All of those kits are cool, especially the Toyota!!! Huudo: That Porsche kicks Butt!!!

With the Mugen NSX make sure you follow the painting instructions closely.
You must use the Tamiya spray suggested and make sure you mask the white sections correctly.
The decals are designed to go over white and they then match the tamiya paint perfectly. Deviating from this will cause the colour scheme to not work. My friend did this!

Thanks for your replies.
Great 911 colour scheme huudo. Is it still commercialised?
Corolla is fine. Resting after a final clear coat and waiting for a sunny day for a photo session.

But the decals are designed to match the paint they suggest in the instructions! It is a damn close match too! Stick with that surely?

I've got a pic of one that was at Tamiya/Con this past year:

Sorry about blurry! :o

Actually, that's to match the Raybrig NSX, not the Avex Dome NSX.

Walter, that's quite a stunning variation
