Well, there is the Team Emperor Evo III which would match your Emperor Evo V. You can find that on ebay, and wherever Initial-D models are sold. Also on ebay, I found an Evo III GSR.

ID, D1, it's all good man. laugh.gif

After taking a big break from models (school) I am able to start up again. This is what I am currently working on.

When I am done with the Evo, I have a 86Levin on the way. happy.gif

Hi:

I usually find these models at Hobby Link Japan (www.hlj.com) or at Hobby Search (www.1999.co.jp/eng/).

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Nice, now I'm going to have to really get a job so I can afford to do those!

My dad was big into models, and it got into me a little. I enjoy doing it for the fun of learning about the vehicles.


I've got some fun plans to take a Cab-over deisel truck and do a little Optimus Prime out of it.

There's a shopping centre near Sim Lim square called Sunshine Plaza which has quite a few modelling shops. Mostly it's Gundams but there's one shop there that specialises in car models. I saw the kit for God's Foot's R34 and Keisuke's new FD on its shelves...

i'd say sand the surface first, you don't want tp paint over the surface given to you already.

***now for painting i'd recommend using spray paint, its pricey but you get a very high quality finish. I use Tamiya....make sure you do NOT USE TESTORS! its horrible.***

Now after sanding you would primer. If your going to have the skyline black, just use the grey primer.

Then you would let dry off around 24 hours.

After if you want a even better result, you can sand again using 1000 grid paper and then primer again. Once again let it dry for 24 hours.

After this you can spray paint your skyline. Now make sure you test the pressure of the spray can and find a good distance to spray from so that you don't get "paint bubbles" after lol. Once you have that done, let it dry for 48 hours in a place where dust cannot sit on the car.

Thats my advice wink2.gif

Just want to reinforce the use of Tamiya spray paints... They are incomparable in quality. wink2.gif
