QUOTE(cham2020 @ Apr 30 2006, 11:04 PM) kubrick16 btw, thanx for the tips and tricks.i am using industrial can sprays which are thick and need lot of patinece to smoothen it so it will not look thick. i am using anchor brand for primer, color and clear coat. i would recommend you to use tamiya can sprays although it's expensive. try sourcefrom singapore SD 8 only compare to here RM 30. 1st most important you will have to use sandpaper to sand the body and parts. when it dry, give a coat of primer. next spray the desired color in 4 steps ( 2 mist coat and 2 heavy coat ) let them dry between layers. then stick decals and spray clear coat. next if you get orange peel, you will have to wetsand ( use tamiya 1000, 1500, 2000 grit ) and polish with tamiya polishing compound or soft99 wax( it's long process ) and then make the body to do the window panel lines. chassis can be spray according to body color with detailings according to the manual. beware of some manuals cause it's not accurate  hope it helps...... i am a noob too LOL ok to fix the clear parts like lamps i would recommend you MRHOBBY Cement , tamiya extra thin cement ,white glue or those glue you use when you are a kid. use SUPER GLUE or CEMENT to glue the parts together. for the window clear parts , use double side tape will help alot... do not attempt UHU cause it will bedamn sticky .. really appreciate that.  |

i am using tamiya masking tape . 6 mm one. the good part about tamiya masking tape is the possibility of the paint seeping through is low......mostly it will not bleed...but tamiya masking tape in malaysia is expensive , RM 8 to RM 20. i am using the small one 6mm..
try hobby shops, you can find them |

TQ to begin to sand an unpainted model start with 1000, then 1200 and then 1500. but i usually sand using 1200 only. ( lazy ) if you get orange peel on the models after clear coat, you can wetsand using 1500 or 2000 grit and then polish it.. masking for example , your car is blue and white. after you spray white, you will mask the area that is white before spraying blue. there lots of technique for modelling and take it easy mate |

actually i don't reccomend fujimi
most of the kits have fitment problems and are not very realistic compare to tamiya and hasegawa. but still i have lots of fujimi kits because they have the cars i want to build. plus fujimi kits are very expensive nowadays. i am eyeing on the new evo 9 gsr ralliart kit and cost RM 90+ ... but so far i have little fitment problems with fujimi models except for the Suzuki Wagon R..damn terrible fitment...waste RM 50 on that junk kit.. tamiya have limited models because they only do the cars they like. hasegawa make good rally models...... i have a HASEGAWA mitsubishi lancer evolution one safary rally i bought at singapore for SD 22 only. The kit is out of production and a super rare kit. my friend recently saw it at hongkong for RM 490.   |
