Ah, panel lines. Every model builder has a different method to tackle them and there really isn't a right or wrong, just what works for you.
I've tried a couple methods over the years before finding what gave me the best result, and that is to paint the panel lines before applying primer or paint coat. The method is explained in detail on Model Cars Magazine Forum. I like this method since you don't have to worry about being too neat and tidy when applying paint into the panel lines. In theory, putting primer and paint over top decreases the panel line thickness and makes it look a bit more realistic. Pic attached is my Supra done using this technique. |

Wow, okay, I think I'll try putting the panel lines first before the painting process. I like the way that Supra turned out.

Not gonna lie, when I came across this: http://www.c1-models.com/resin/nur-spec-toyota-gt86
I was tempted to get an Aoshima 86/FRS kit so that I can come close to my actual FR-S (could have also used the Scion decal on the steering wheel, but Toyota decals everywhere else). Dunno if those transkits can work on other kits other than Tamiya. |

Never heard of them I just thought t was cool there were airbrush ready colours. Believe me I would have researched the hell out of them before ever buying.

Guessing the tabs on the bumper will have to be trimmed off since the Aoshima one doesn't have those. Only reason why I would go with the Aoshima kit is it offers both LHD and RHD dashes, plus the Toyota and Scion decals.

Yeah, when I was researching air brushes and air brush ready paints, I was looking at Zero/Splash paints. Saw a lot of complaints about them, especially at their price point. |

I don't do enough cars to really work well with gloss paints.

Is the main reason why paints get orange peel the glossiness of them? Is that why when I sprayed the primer, it was nice and smooth? |
