Hello everyone. I am Kevin. Just started on my Tamiya TOM's Castrol Supra.
will add more pics soon! I've sandpapered the car, gonna get it covered in primer before coloring it with X2 white. 
The car's bodykits: 
I'm also facing some problems, hope you guys can help me out. View the thread below (post # 2456): http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry32775515 This post has been edited by kevinn7: Mar 29 2010, 12:18 AM |

QUOTE(mirage-rs @ Mar 29 2010, 01:06 PM) huuu... airbrush... i usually use spraycan only.... maybe u need to have a few layer of clear coat to have the glossy effect... just my 2 cents... yup definitely for the body but then what about those engine parts, lower arm etc. Semi glossed black but looks like flat black.

QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Mar 31 2010, 06:33 PM) I get mine from various places.. The Supra above and another Calsonic Skyline GTR34 2003 I got it from modelzone UK. Supra was about16.99 pounds and skyline about 20.99 pounds i think. That total came with a further 5% or 10% discount as my friend is a student there. |

Need to do something abt this.
 this as wel.. line is abit off...  and this (some black mark visible)..  Updates: After applying Tamiya White Putty... it dries so fast that I barely have enough time to even it out. This is to cover up the funny line as u can see in the previous post.  And also the side fender part..  Front lip which is connected to the fender had some gap.. probably cz this is an old Tamiya model.  What a bummer. i need to wait for someone to reply b4 i can add more pics This post has been edited by kevinn7: Apr 4 2010, 07:48 PM |

QUOTE(advocado @ Apr 5 2010, 06:53 AM) You can get 1200 or even 1500 sand paper in Ace Hardware, few ringgit per sheet. I used 1000 tamiya but can still see sand lines after sanding. tthats normal. u will have to polish it le.Added on April 5, 2010, 9:20 am QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Apr 5 2010, 08:57 AM) ahh, damn jealous see you all got time to do this.. thx! will update i damn busy and have no resources with me atm. btw, kevin, your progress seems pretty good..
