the secret is to take your time and not rush it.. i always need to do touch ups here and there because i painted to far or not enough, keep working the part till its perfect and you are happy with it

do you have to sand down the body before you spray paint it?

You dont have to but i like to use a fine scotchbrite for the paint to stick well especially if you are going to use tape on it at anypoint. If not the paint will peel off withthe tape. I always let the body dry about a week before handling just to make sure. More to come with pics tomorrow night!

@Silverdub, would you recommend sanding paint that was hand brushed? i think i may have painted it a little thick.

Looking good.
I just dropped an order for the Aoshima kit, which is out now. Has the LHD parts and FR-S decals. Another option to check out.

Wow, very nice work OP!
You give me inspiration to start on those old muscle car models I have lying around . Maybe I'll work on those, and then hope for that GT 86 model to come down in price some. ($45 dollars for a model, are you kidding me?!?)
