Finished Pics Of The APEX Altezza

[primera man]

Well here it is all finished...the APEX Altezza from Fujimi.
Painted in Tamiya Chrome Yellow and the wheels are TE-37's painted in Light Gun Metal. Thanks to all you who voted and help out on what ones to use.
Kit went together fairly well, only drama's being the decals which are very very thin and are very easy to tear when moving around to get into place. The other being the side skirts which are not a very good fit and took a bit of time extra to get right. Bottom grill cut out and mesh added.
Only other added extra was the fatter exhaust tip
Your comments are welcome...hope you like !!

That is awesome but then what else should we expect from Master Yoda?!:coolguy: :coolguy: :coolguy: What's next?!

I was unsure about this model to begin with coz going from the box art its not an Altezza kit i would have chosen. Once again you've proved me wrong and produced another great model and once again i have to ask the all to obvious question - what's next?

[nubiannupe]

That IS a sweet car, PM... very nicely done. And that's a Tamiya kit??? What have you got up your sleeve next?

[Suislide]

that's not a Tamiya kit. it's Fujimi.

PMan. wow. i am completely in awe of that car. it looks so very good on the TE-37's, i think you made a good choice there. the paint looks superb, the decals look superb. you are the God of modelling!! lol. just one thing - did you forget to put the little red "Altezza" decal on the front grille, or was that intentional? i can see the little flat part on the grille where it's supposed to go, and know that it goes there because i have an Altezza kit myself with the same grille (HKS Kansai Service). just though you'd like to know if you already didn't.

Looks amazing!!!!!! I knew the TE-37s would look great, but I wasn't expecting gun-metal. Sooperb

Damn that thing looks great!! :ylsuper

But I still hate Fujimi's quality of molding. You can see from the pics (especially the close-ups of front and rear) that the molding isn't really that sharp - the edge of the hood, for instance.

Anyway, I don't think you can get a better result than that from a Fujimi kit -> meaning I like it

[daggerlee]

Lookin' sharp as usual. Makes me want to order a few of Fujimi's tuner cars, like the new Buddy Club RSX or something. I would have switched the disc brakes from those generic throwaways to some nice brembos myself, and gone with the original 5 spoke but hey it's your model :sun:

WOW!
How do you make them so nice?

[Veyron]

Perfecto!

[magicmanjk808]

looks great pman. hopefully mines will be half as good.

[Max Power]

Excellent! This is just in time too. I am planning on painting the wheels of my current project light gun metal and now your model gives me a chance to see what the color looks like.

Love it! :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:
BTW nice plate from the Revell ITR kit !! LOL

Warren, Warren, Warren. Damn you!! How do you manage to get things done so quickly? For everyone I finish you get about 6 done. Hey, you know what, I've been really good about turning things out lately. I think I had about three completed last month alone. I didn't vote for the wheels , but you still ended up with excellent results.

How do you make them so nice?

Yeah Pman, how do you do that? You don't even polish or clear coat, while I sit for hours on end- polishing and rubbing til my fingers bleed.
