Tamiya r32

Just received a tamiya r32 as a gift and I am having a hard time deciding if I should paint it black or white, also if I should get rims for the car or should I use the black rims, If someone has done this car please give me some ideas, also should I lower the car or keep everything stock?

Do a different colour scheme unless your going for factory colours.
If you have photoshop or any other graphic program take a pic of a Skyline and change the colour. That's what I do if I don't want to paint it with factory colours.

IMO

I think it will be stock but I think I like the black but the whits sounds good too ahhhhhh!!!.

One question, after a close inspection of the body around the tail area I see a lot of highs and lows well not noticeable unless you put it under a light and see the different shades and also if you run your finger around it. Should i putty it and sand the area or just prime it, sand it and prime again till the high and lows are gone.

Thanks for the suggestions anone got a good clean picture of the r32 so maybe I can use photoshop.

THanks

I think I will go with metalic black with 10inch aoshima equip rims and GT wing. then I will have another one white with the clear hood to display the engine and I will put it in a model case.

As to the uneven tail should I putty it or prime it then sand and prime again till the highs and lows are gone?
