WTF!

How did you melt it?

How much did the Z-Tune set you back and where did you get it from?

I honestly don't remember how I melt it, but it was a couple years ago lol, but I was pretty pissed....

I think they sell it for like $35-45 in Melbourne (rip off), I got it when I went back to Hong Kong, it was probably like $20 lol.

That's an OK price as I think when the Z-Tune 1st came out it was $60+.

HK prices are wicked!

Besides my 2 x R32 GTR models from AUS, the rest are from HK and the prices for each model worked out to be $15 - $20 each.

We got a Heines model engine at the same time. It was actually really interesting...how the hell they think a 10 year old could that together is beyond me. it took us about 6 hours or so to put it all together.

We still haven't got our model FTO yet

Hi Everyone

We got our model in the post today, so we put it together this afternoon.

It was actually pretty good to put together, and surprisingly didn't drive me nuts.

Here are some photos

P.S: Model was painted with real Imperial Red touch up paint

Next I'm thinking about tracking down a R34 Skyline...and maybe a BMW 318I and Mitsubishi TP Magna

WTF?!

What paint did you use?

Looks all "orange peal" like...

You spray or brush?

[Downforce]

looks hand brush/painted

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

LOL!

That's what I thought.

You gotta use the Tamiya TS spray paint.

And don't use the Tamiya PS (Polycarbonate Shell - RC Cars) spray paint either.

Must be TS.

Hi

It was brush painted using duco paint (Brenton wanted it to be the exact same colour as the original) with a clear coat that hadn't finished drying, I spent about half hour with the hair dryer trying to bake the clear coat, but still wasn't dry in those pics.

Up close it has that orange peel look but still looks pretty cool

Tamiya have a paint chart you can pic from

Ah well, all good
