Nissan R390....

[LittleMoe]

Well i guess i'll be the first to post in the Tamiya thread!!

I have built a few Tamiya kits already, and what can i say!!!! You get what you pay for!!! Even the curbsides are awesome.

This kit is the Nissan R390GT1 racecar. It's a more simple kit compared to other Tamiya kits, but it does have full engine and interior detail. It has a low parts count, but is a nice kit just the same.

One thing you have to be mindful of is how you mount the engine assembly to the chassis, if it's not PERFECT. its hard to get the body to fit good, and the exhaust pipes dont quit fit in the body holes.

I have been workin on this one for a while, and i set it aside, but i will be completing it shortly. The has fade decals, but even though i used the recommended Tamiya paints, the decals and paint did not match to well, so i fadded the paint with my airbrush. That was a first for me!!!! Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think!!!!!

















constructive critism welcome!!!! ENJOY!!!

I do not think I have ever done a Tamaya kit.

[LittleMoe]

Too much $$$, too much time to do.

I take about a Month to do a typical kit now, a detailed kit would take me half a year!!! LOL!
