BTW, the front is sitting too high and I don't know how to lower.. loLz..
I am pretty displease with my first attempt..

Forhod, I think you can post the HKS ALtezza pict up here, maybe the 2 pict.

Looks better then my first car thats for sure. What kit is that? Ive never seen it before. Way to be different. You know what would be tight for that SHO? White with White TE37 18inchers slammed with a GT Wing. Possible model i may do hehe.. Keep it up

The taurus may not be a beast, but performance-wise, the SHO can definitely turn some heads.

Just a couple questions. Is the kit pretty straight forward in terms of painting and assembly? I just got the kit from e-bay(under$10) and I'm gonna try to turn it into an 89 Wagon or if it proves to be too difficult for my skill level, i'll leave it alone and paint it to look like my real car. Of course mine isn't a SHO, its just a normal Taurus L. Way to go on yours though. its pretty good for a beginner, better than my first.

why would he want a wing? dont you guys know that wings on FWD cars lowers performance?

btw, it looks good for your first model. how did you paint the body? with a brush or a can or airbrush?

It looks good for your first model. You should get better over time. Just stick with it and you'll be putting some really good models together in no time. If you have any questions just ask here on the forums. I have found that it is the best place to answer my modeling questions.

Thanks for your comments

I appreciate it.

mstngcobrasvt98 : The colour instruction they only give just simple colours like just saying silver, gold etc.. but it is all up to you to decide the colour

Assembly is very straight forward. Except some poor fittings.

tony350ss : Can for exterior and brush for the interior.

Sure thing! My first model was way much worse. You have the talent to become a good modeler.

Forhod · #15 12-05-2002, 09:36 AM

GeeZ, thanks.
Read pretty much from the FAQ, and tips from the local modelers.. It still turns out bad... not very bad though..
I'll practice more since practice makes perfect!
