Cobras can come in pearl blue too
http://s452.photobucket.com/albums/q...bra-Z-V1_1.jpg endings 1-16
Basicly its my experiment with pearl blue testors lexan body paint/spray, using an ultra-light body like Cobra on my MA to bring its weight down, and lastly improving my MA's handling due to lack of a top weight like a roof w/ glass.
Hooks were not glued in because I will race this thing and they'll bust in first 10 seconds.
I plan on adding 2 lime green stripes to mimic the original look to my liking. I also plan on spraying enamel clear coat when all is said and done to preserve it as best I can(and hopefully not fk up the paintjob that way).

i think you';ll have better luck wiht the cobra simply because it shields the front tires more than the skyline you had. you can always heat them up and flair them out more to your liking if required as well.

And arch, it is hfay legal, yes? And even without the driver(because there's no way to mount him on the MA lol)?
FYI guys, the windshield feels really sturdy due to kyosho glue, so now I'm debating reinforcing it or not.
Koye, when I found that color of blue AND had a 11$ body handy I couldn't resist. IMO painting in gloss or even regular, Tamiya, metallic isn't really worth it. Comparing how this snake looks like next to any 1 of my ASCs is like earth and sky.

Lol no. I'm debating how to do the stripes... I have a 7mm one on the left side of the front half of the car now, but I can't decide how to proceed.
Make it as long as the body, like the original?
Make a second stripe half/full length with same width?
Make a second stripe thin, 2mm, and match the length of the left stripe?
Maybe make the 2nd stripe go across the first?
Too many choices lol!

'cept that 934 is actually a part of my anime set, so I need it. Wasn't bought to race or to sell. Same with Nur R34.

it's legal provided its not installed to allow for proper function of the car/parts or you simply can not install it do to fit.

Meaning? All I did to install it was glue the side clips on upside down since the connector wasn't dead in the middle. If thats legal and lack of driver is legal, then I should be good.
Ebay has at least 1 934 for 30+s/h Arch, poke in there. As far as Devil, 1/24 Fujimi kit should do. Its price is offsetting me right now, but I do plan on buying it eventually. Might tear apart the white R32 I have to paint it pearl white, if such exists, or metallic.
Then there's the testa I have for this same set. I'd love to get another FD to do the yellow one from Wangan.
