Hi guys, just to get started I thought I would share a picture of the project but I will not be starting work on this until Jan as other projects need to be finished first.
OK idea is a silver finish with red strip over the top nothing to hard as this will be only the second paint job with my airbrush. What do you guy's think?
Been looking at the wheels but I kind of like them as they are.

Hi Paul, its an Aoshima model with engine bay (rare for them) different bonnet (hood for the US) which needs the kit one to be removed, and chose of rear wing either the Veilside one or a GT style wing. Not decided which wing to use yet. Interior will be black or very dark grey with red and silver high lights.

Love that front end! Not sure how it'd look on my 1:1 '93 Nissan Pick-up though! Be interesting to try.
I think the red stripe over the top would be nice, maybe off centered? Wonder if you could tie the red of the stripe into the rims somehow? Maybe paint the edge of the "spokes?"

Mike I should of said, yes the stripe will be off centre. Mmmm.. red tied into the rims, thats an idea I will think about, thanks Mike.
I just hope I can do you guy's proud as I have only done a few cars in the past and this will be the first with an airbrush and only the second model total, with an airbrush.
