Nah mine is a levin. I've had more masking issues, I think my masking tape is too thick and its caused "steps" in the paint.... Might have to just call this one "drift style,lol...

nice recreation on the crab 86
ive made a few over the years.
heres a few pics
I'd love to start although I don't think I'd be too good at the paint, they'd probably turn out horrible![]()
nargh theyre quite easy once u figure out a few techniques. the painting is the hardest to master, mines still heaps dodgey. but somehow you always end up being pleased when its finished
I'm also not fond of paying $50 just for the model.
What brand do you guys buy? When I bought models a few years ago I always bought Tamiya. Their quality was streets ahead most, is it still the same? Who makes Sprinters?
I think Tamiya has the highest quality.
But Fujimi and Aoshima seem to make all the kool kits. Like tuning company cars like the MCR GTR etc...
yeah tamiya seems to have the highest quality and pricetag. once u get into scratchbuilding and modifying you can get around the quality of the other kits. my levin is still my favourite and they are one of the most basic kits available, theres like no parts in the box which u actually need
Meadan: that 86 looks sweet!!! can you get us some more pis of it? and details (custom mods done, type of model kit used, rims etc)
