I’ve been working on the 1/24 Tamiya 2019 GR Supra kit. So far a beautiful and enjoyable build. I’m doing the Japanese version with the partial red interior. I will be going for a Tamiya Chrome Yellow exterior.
Here’s a couple of pictures of a US version that it should (hopefully!) look like.

The Tamiya interior is beautifully detailed and the parts breakdown made it very easy to paint the various colors and parts before gluing them together.

The underside of the lower frame. I don’t paint much of this area unless it will be visible once finished- the brakes for instance will be painted but much of the rest won’t be.

Looking great Karl.

We have Tamiya campaign is you want to join with this kit.

Shunsaku Tamiya tribute campaign

Group Build Title: Mr Tamiya tribute campaign Group Build Leader(s): @Tank_1812 Group Build Description: A build in memory of Mr Tamiya. If you can recall your first Tamiya build and a unbuilt kit is obtainable please do that. For everyone else that cannot recall, maybe never built one before or that kit is not available build any Tamiya kit you can get your hands on. For this campaign I want to limit the choice to strictly Tamiya original boxings and not any kits they reboxed or someone rebox…

Very nice Karl, love that yellow

[Denimo]

Love my Yellow Peril. Named “Klaus” after the fish on American Dad.

[Karl187]

@Tank_1812 - Thanks for the kind words. I started this about a week before the Group Build got underway so I assumed that would disqualify me for entry?

@Joe_Walsh and @Denimo - Thank you fellas- I do love a yellow car! I bought a can of the Tamiya color a while ago as I pondered which car to use it on.

I’ve finaly finished scratchbuilding the loadbed for my ZIL-130G:

Sorting through the Miniman Factory M916 pieces to convert the Trumpeter M915 to a ‘6. Surprising how many pieces differ; take the tire aspect ratios for example. This explains, at least in part, the visible difference in ride-height compared with the M915.

My caliper battery died this a.m. so I couldn’t measure and compare, but as you can see, if they’re accurately sized, it’s significant. The ‘5’s wheels seem to fit these upsize tires more or less, which is great news.

[Nefer]

Played around with some mud. It’s fun!

HI Do you have any more pics on the adats build. I’m just about to start my one and the instructions are crap, any advice would be great. The instructions are a bit confusing for the rear especially about cutting the ramp. Cheers

I talked to the campaign manager, he is ok with the build being included.

Hello Angel

Great work, your ZIL-130. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished model. You’re a modeling pro!

[Karl187]

Well that’s great- I will go on over and sign up- thank you !

[frank]

Update, and a few adjustments for painting later, as away from paint booth

[Denimo]

Those pics make me smile Frank. There’s commitment to the hobby!

[sgtchuck]

I’ll look at what photos I have. For the moment I’m not at home and the network is really average. I’ll get back to you later.

[John_O]

You’re camping? Would love a canvas tent, I think I could get my wifey to try glamping with one.

[Denimo]

Discovered this today. One of HobbyLinks latest, I have 2 of their previous sets to make this, but I may build an M543 out of the wrecker set and buy this baby as a separate project.

[Rabbits]

A little more work than expected, the Doobi from Meng

The fun with the cage is still missing, any suggestion how to bend the plastic bares a little? So it looks more used?
