ok
very easy mate
did you clear coat your model?
recommend to clear coat first wink.gif
then wait it dry...

wetsand the model with 1000, then 1500 then 2000 gritt...
make sure you don't oversand it.. i mean the edges.. i tend to have that problem also....like the curve of the model...becareful

then polish with wax/polishing cream eg : soft99 polish cream
with a cloth..then can eliminate
sometimes you need to wetsand a few times to eliminate the orange peels.
*
the sandpaper...can u get them at hardware shops? or they must be tamiya's ones? is it the higher the number of sandpaper the finer the they are?
wetsand them...does it destroy the paintwork? coz i've tried wetsanding my models....it became "unshiny"...u know what i mean rite? ("kesan calar" in malay)...u mean by polishing, it will get rid of the "kesan calar" thingy??
btw, soft99, where can i get it? recommendations?

yeap
you can use any sandpapers
i am using combo of normal sandpaper and tamiya sandpaper....
yeap..higher number ..the smoother the sandpaper..and finer it is
it doesn't destroy the paint job if you sand it properly.. do it gently.....don't rub on it hard or you tend to oversand..
yes if you polish you will get rid most of the scratches but make sure you cloth is clean

soft99 is a car polishing cream wink.gif so you know where to get it
*
thanks a lot....but what about tamiya's compound?
there are a lot.....which 1 is the one?

hey cham2020.....nice build there...wish i could do something like that....but the decal at the rear (NGK) might look a bit weird for a lambo....hehe just my thoughts...
let me ask u 1 opinion...which one would you go for between honda s2000-tamiya or silvia s15 aero-aoshima...coz im planning to get one....

btw what clear coat do you use? anchor or tamiya....if tamiya's, 1 can doesn't look enough rite? need to get 2?
my previous builds did not get clear coats on...can they be polished too?
oh yea...can clear coat be coated on windscreens and lamps?

if i am you
i will get the s2000
i heard s2000 of tamiya is a good kit to build without fitment issues...
but it's up to you la..
i never build aoshima kits before so dare not leave any comments

i am using industrial clear
it depends... i have a singapore friend that can spray 3 cars using a bottle of tamiya can sprays..so it's enough ...don't worry !

i am using pearl orange (industrial) for the lambo
*
u should try aoshima kits....the quality is there....erm for me, they are around 80% ok....something like tamiya's...i've got one kit...it's the odyssey VIP style....posted in this thread b4....the price is a bit high...but other than that..everything is ok....

i'll get 1 s2000...the s15 will be later then...havent build a honda b4...

you have to get after market rims and tyres
they come together..unfortunately it's hard to findin malaysia

i  got extra's but i dunnoe if it can fit or not....
or you can buy those cheap china toys and use their rims + tyres  biggrin.gif
*
i need only the rubbers....coz the rims, i've already got ler....hehe
i haven't really try aftermarket parts...i'm using the skyline R34 v-spec rims....need the tyres now
