Current short term project: Celica GT-FOUR
Progress is good, working on the engine today!
It's really nice to do a road car engine for a change, so few kits have them nowadays! This is how the body looks, and those wheels are Huuuuuuge! The idea is to do the body black with Titanium coloured wheels. Nothing I see here detracts me from that, it should look mean! I will be able to spray the body tomorrow, weather permitting! I fancied adding a bigger tourbo, but having looked ta the engine, modifications seem difficult! We'll see! I'll keep you updated as usual! BTW, it will have the biger wing! I just can't dummy fit the packers!

Would you be able to drop it a bit? Looks like you could lower it a bit.

Found a new problem today!
With a kit such as the Celica, with engine detail and therefore an opening bonnet, you MUST file, sand, primer and polish the body with any separate parts in place, otherwise nasty dips appear in the panels, elaborating the look of a model! I therefore went back to the body tonight and refiled it with everything in place. I will also primer it now as you see it, and the same with the paint and then polishing! Tape the bonnet in place once the back of the parts have been painted, and spray the body complete! Just a little tip I wanted to share! learn something new everyday!

Will you then remove the bonnet right after you paint the car? I'm not sure, but I would be worried about the glueing effect of paint.
Can we see a picture of the engine?
