Finished: New Celica Mild Tuner

This is the Tamiya kit painted with Testors Chrysler Phoenician Yellow lacquer which is a light creamy yellow, Tamiya clear. The semi glossblack is PollyScale Engine Black, in terior is Acryl Dragon Black. Sunroof is painted on the inside with Alclad chrome.

The suspension is lowered in a very butcher-like manner, the wheels are from the Tamiya Subaru rally kit and are painted with a brass and aluminum metalizer mix.

No other mods except for the aluminum tube exhaust tip.

Thanks! I polish the paint just like they do on real cars. There are three coats of clear varnish on it that I sanded with 800 grit paper to level it then I rubbed it with compound for full gloss.

To paint the black on I masked the car with Tamiya masking tape.
