3. Silvia S13
4. Integra type R
5. Evo 7
6. Evo 7 WRC (tamiya)
7. Ferrari testarossa

is it as good or better than tamiya? being in malacca always means lack of paints.... lack of wax... sigh...

u mean the paints? i'm not pretty sure but normally, i use tamiya can spray to spray up the model's body part...then overcoat it with the industrial clear paint.....till now, i have no problem with it.....if u need to know more on industrial paint, i guess cham2020 has the much better info....coz i learned some from him.

but.....if u wanna use industrial spray(color) to spray ur model....ur model might not end up looking so real due to the color pigments....industrial color pigments are larger than tamiya's

no no , i was talking about the clear coat. cause my paint job are all by tamiya. just to cut cost maybe i should try industrial clear paint if it's as good la

if color...i would advise u to stick back to tamiya's......clear coat...u can use industrial 1....for me, those clear coats did well....the quality is around the same as tamiya's clear coat i guess. just that u need to do a good wet sanding and polishing job lor...but overall.....outcome at the end would be nice....look at cham2020's work...nice....

ok la, just a question . what type of wax i use to polish the cars? real car polish or tamiya wax? i can't find the tamiya one here

wax? well i use normal car wax.....right now i'm using Turtle Wax....i works well for me....coz all these waxes and industrial paints cost a lot cheaper than tamiya's....

Finish this recently.... removed the door handles for a cleaner look. Sprayed chrome yellow to test it because i am bad in spraying yellow.. Turns out quite well...
Mirrors are sprayed with Clear Green and I find it quite nice although I am sure some of you guys out there might not like it... Interior is simple ..combo of silver, black and red....
Rims are from Fujimi Evo VIII GSR...
some little oversand but overall I am satisfied as this kit gives me lots of problems in terms of fitment..never touch the same kit again....

nice one cham2020

got myself Tamiya's McLaren MP4/7 recently. I've decided not to paint it because i'm bad at painting...just fix the stickers...

i am bad at painting also
but i am still learning
you should learn !
seriously

maybe i want to finish the model in hurry and sometimes no planning at all, thats why

1 quick q : Can we spray clear coat after fixing the decals? wont it damage the decals?
