It's Tamiya's latest kit, and needless to say, I loved it. But the carbon decal pattern is not very good. so I cut some more scale-appropriate carbon decals to size and applied them. My other disappointment was that when I finally put the body on, the side lips didn't fit tightly to the body and gaped slightly, which I attributed to the fact that the back of the chassis was too weak. It's not easy to put this into words...; those who plan to build it will find out later. At first I thought about gluing it, but I settled on reinforcing the invisible part with some leftover plastic rods. I spent almost two months deciding on the color (Between Acid Green and Tiffany Blue) I think there are many people who bought it. There will be many examples of other colors and liveries soon. 😀 .

In the video, the sanding is somewhat omitted. The video would be too long to show the repetitive sanding, so I probably only edited out the beginning of the sanding. As I recall, I was sanding for about 3 hours.

Hello. After building my favorite NSX and RX-7 last year, I finally finished the R34. The color was already decided because I remembered a blue R34 I saw on a trip to Japan many years ago. I wanted to paint it the same blue color I saw back then. I bought five or six different blue paints, but none of them had that intense blue color, so I didn't paint the body for a long time. I switched it up and overcoated the clear blue over the chrome silver, and it looked good. So I mixed a small amount of clear black with the clear blue and built it up until I got the look I wanted. I also used LEDs to create the under neon. I tried to turn it on/off with a switch that responds to sound. I hope you like it. 🙂 Full build video is here. 🙂

Hasegawa's newer kits are very good, while the older ones don't have much detail beyond the body. But their Group-C lineup is so good that we have no choice. 😅

It's great to see all the cool Group-C cars. It must have been difficult to paint the bodies, but it's a nice finish. Great job! 👍

Hello. This time, I have completed Mazda 767B. This car is famous for having a rotary engine. This kit from Hasegawa is very old and needed a lot of polishing and refinement. I think it's a bit more sloppy than Hasegawa's Porsche 962C kit. This seems to be the only kit readily available for this attractive Mazda livery. The orange and green colors of the body are based on photos of the real car. Body masking, decals, steps... it was a bit of a tedious process. I'm happy to have accomplished one of the liveries I've always wanted to make. 🙂 Full build video is here. 🙂

The colors are unique and so cool. It's nice to see perfectly clean work...!👍👍

I used Mr.color GX112 clear coat. 🙂 Fujimi has several different F430 kits. Thank you..!

I'm glad you like it. Thank you. 🙂

Hello, This time, I completed the Fujimi F430 Scuderia. I was very disappointed with the kit of the Fujimi F40 I made before, so I didn't have high expectations for this F430, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the kit was. The overall injection quality is good and the engine is well represented, even though there are not many parts. The wheels and tires are in very good condition. This is the part of the kit that surprised me the most. The brake discs and calipers are separate parts, and the discs can be rotated. The Ferrari engraving on the calipers is so clear...; this is by far the best Fujimi kit I've ever built. However, the clear parts are still not as clear as the Tamiya and Hasegawa. I debated a lot about the color, but in the end I went with red.😱 I'm glad the striped decal across the center is a bit unique. The F430 is my second favorite Ferrari design after the F40. I think it's a car with a great front-to-back balance. I hope you like this work and video. Thank you. 🙂 Full build video is here. 🙂

I realized that not everyone would like this decal. ^^] Maybe I should have just painted it yellow. Thanks as always. 🙂👍 I've been working on polishing the clear layer between the decal and the border to get rid of the step. I think it was fine for practicing decals. I wasn't familiar with the animation, so thanks for pointing it out. Thank you for your kind words. 😊

Last time I made an NSX, this time I made a JDM RX-7. Both vehicles are the famous JDM from the 90s. In Aoshima, there are a lot of variants of the RX-7 with slightly different bodykits. One of them had an unusual anime decal, so I started with that. Actually, I'm not sure what kind of anime it is... 😅 Does anyone know? The body color was just white, but I felt it was a bit boring, so I mixed a small amount of nail color chameleon pearl(?) with clear and painted it. I like the jeweled look,, but it just looks like white in the picture. Full build video is here. 🙂

I'm glad you liked this work Thank you all for watching! 😀

Hello, This time, I completed Tamiya 1/24 Honda NSX. Launched in the early 90s, this old sports car is still my favorite dream car. 👍 I made this Tamiya kit once in 1994. Looking at it while working again this time, it's still a good kit. I did some tuning using carbon decals, LEDs and magnets. The headlights are lit when pop-up. I hope you like this work and video. Thank you. 🙂 Full build video is here.
