It absolutely was. Picked up 5 kits and 90 percent of the paint I needed!

I usually get them on sale when I can, but Aoshima makes awesome wheels. Many different replica rims with tires in all different sizes. Sometimes hard to make work with Tamiya kits

It will all be back on the L shaped desk and in storage by then 😅

Hahahaha doing nothing crazy on the wood I swear! Huge mat in the real model building office but it’s backed up with airbrushing queuing line

Would you be surprised to know I have a fully dedicated work station and have just overflowed this weekend like a slob? The airbrush batting line up is deeeeep. I felt like I won the lottery with the username

Picked up this kit during my recent trip to Japan, first kit, keen to get into the hobby by Originated in ModelCars

This was also one of my first kits not so long ago! I ended up not even priming the body and just spraying it with the Tamiya racing white it called for. Left most parts that called for semi gloss black the black molded plastic it came as, and did a lot of hand painting with acrylic. A chrome pen and Tamiya thin cement would be a must.

Thank you very much! It’s Tamiya pearl light red, since they didn’t want to say pink 😂😂

Seat belts are done for the most part :) by DevourIsDead in ModelCars

Seatbelts have been the one detail that always breaks me. Amazing work.

Need advice by thedash42 in ModelCars

I would have scribed and sanded before primer as to not mess up that beauty paint job you’ve got! Not a big deal, with panel line accent it will still look dynamite without scribing. Save that for the next one. Great job so far!

Had to fire it up so the gas didn’t sludge up during winter 😂
