Just Got An Lfa For My Birthday......

Unfortunately it's not made by Lexus but Tamiya and I have to build it myself.

Anyone else made this kit? What colour did you paint it?

Thanks

Paul.

I've not built this kit , plenty of others in the past though, Tamiya make brilliant kits from past experience , What scale is it ? How you painting it ...rattle can , air brush or brush ? Red would be nice !

It's 1:24 scale. Instructions say use spray can. I've not got an airbrush so will use spray can for the body and brush for the other bits. Looking forward to making it.

Thought I would post some pics of my progress so far. Amazing detail. Even for parts you won't see when complete. It's a good way to see how they are built.

Body colour will be metallic blue.

It's taking shape....how many hours so far ?

[PaulWhitt20]

Lost count how long. Paint a bit. Let it dry. Paint a bit more. Let it dry. Glue a bit. Paint a bit etc. so it's lots of bits not one continuous session. About two weeks on and off.

Next bit is painting the shell and I need it to be dry for that. :-(

Nearly finished......
