Rocket Bunny V1 kit getting some Honda Phoenix Yellow. This is a fully opening 1/18 Autoart diecast metal model, and I'll be slapping a 2JZ into it probably.
Used adhesive putty to temporarily attach panels to the body for a proper paint match.

Do they have a stock 2017 version? I have considered jumping into the 1/16 realm but never really saw one I wanted.

I'm still in awe that you have so many AutoArt models.
Since I felt bad about not using some of the Nismo parts in my original R32 Nismo build, I went ahead and ordered a standard R32 kit and will use all the unused Nismo parts on that. lol. |

I would like to try a 1/16 kit since you can do a lot more detailing that can be seen.

You can sell the one you have now and pick this one up. Gives you the options of zenki and kouki versions, as well as LHD or RHD. And automatic or manual, as well as lowered or stock ride height. |

The problem I have with ordering from places like that is that by the time it gets to me that $28USD model costs about $140. With exchange, taxes, shipping, and duty there is no way I can order from independent places like that. For some reason Amazon or such doesn't seem to get all the extra costs pled on them.

Alright guys. Need your input. This is in the primer stages (1 mist and one wet gray, and then 1 mist and 1 wet white coat). Don't mind the two splatter spots, the nozzle shot off after I depressed it for the first time (I guess I kept it in hot water for too long).
I originally cut out the roof for the moonroof option. However, after I tested the "glass" piece, the cut out for that was much smaller than the actual moonroof piece, as seen in the second pic. So I puttied the cut piece of the roof back on, but even after smoothing out the putty, I can see the outline still, even after the gray and white primer coats. What do you guys think I should do? Cut out the roof again and some how cut the glass piece and hope it doesn't crack farther out to the windshield part (that's why I abandoned the moonroof idea). Not really liking Aoshima so far because of this (plus a few parts of the body had to be puttied since there were large gaps). |

Oh, and I couldn't just leave the glass piece uncut since it had one of those circles (I think they're called sink marks?) right in the middle.
