02 - Toyota Carina ED Assembly and painting
Sorry guys, I forgot to take the photos of the sprues so I can do the brief review this time! so just a picture of the items in the box
the main body
a little dry fit OOB
the awful doors panels made by Tamiya
let's improve this a little bit with some scratches
more scratches to improve the details of the armrests and door trim!
here the interior already painted with dunkelgrau (German Grey) which is the base color for this interior
original pics for AD in 1985, not for color references, just locate any part in the door panels
some black parts and silver buttons become to apear in the dashboard!
for the door panels, following the manual they said to use a very clear grey, and I think in follow this image from web as a reference!
Digital instruments for this sport limited version!
the instruments I choose because I see this, and the only image from this digital one!
for the body color I opted for the greenish Metallic Silver, which is the mixture of 3 equal parts of three different colors, and the proportion according to the manual is 1: X-11 (Chrome silver), 1: X-24 (Clear Yellow) and 1: X-25 (Clear Green)
the tri-color rear lights, the center part is painted with clear red too, but painted in black in the rear part to make dark aspect
Last night I decided to paint the chassis, it was easy according to the manual, it's basically flat black with some aluminum parts, I even opened a small poetic license and made a red and sports anti-torsion bar
side pinstriping decals applied
rear decals applied

Rafael Langafter your interest in the chassis I decided to paint it last night, it was easy because according to the manual it is basically black with some aluminum parts, I even opened a small poetic license and made a red and sports anti-torsion bar

Dominik Weitzera "not-attention-taken" model - i like modelkits building (or see builds) away from the mainstream. Looks good so far.
Have you painted clearcoat?

Christian WVery cool! I like model kits, who are rar to find and are already built! Well done so far. Pretty good to have such good reference pictures and the comparison of the kits Parts with them. Like it!
