Tamiya 1/24 Eunos Roadster
Discussion
Just finished my first ever Tamiya kit, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Lots learned for future models, but I really enjoyed the experience and am hankering to get into another one.



Errors I made were; used grey undercoat which unintentionally darkened the colour (although I'm happy with the paint finish). Used plastic glue that was brushless and far too strong! which ended up in my slipping and destroying one of the back lamps and surrounding paint finish also slipping and snapping the drivers side door mirror off, which I have managed to glue back on now, but it's wobbly at best..
As I say though, generally really happy with how it went and amazed how simple in essence it was. The last model kit I made was a Gundam Perfect Grade model, which although it didn't need painting took me the better part of a week due to the intense complexity of the kit.
Hoping to do a R34 Skyline GTR or RX-7 next. Shall post when I do.

Yes I bought this kit too but am yet to make a start on it. I've had a can of the correct colour (Montego Blue Mica) made up to match my real one, and also managed to find a set of 1/24 scale BBR wheels - then changed the wheels! I wonder if I can find a set of 1/24 scale Rota RB's anywhere?
