Cheers boyz, bryce latly ive been get'n into the tamiya colors where as usually opted for testors, model master or even boyds, used tam on this one, try'd to mimic the red iradescent over the black look by using clear red over metallic but kum out with somthin completely diffrent and iv recently made a few changes to my prep work and it seems to be pay'n off. Conditions...... funny you ask, ive just moved on to the beach and when i say on the beach... i mean on the beach, but its got a funky little workshop that i like to call " The Gas Chamber"( wanna see a pik?...please say no!), it aint much, but honeslty when i think about it i enjoy models that much i'd find a way to build in the north pole if need be!

Kind Regards

RX-7 Yeah5RX-7 Yeah3RX-7 Yeah6Ok, so after fuss'n over the paint job i was really look'n forward to see what sort engine this little puppy had...............low and behold, nothin, not one engine part at all in the box, thought i might hav gotta dud........... nope, not the case. Now im not mechanically minded at all and i really wish i could take credit for this, but i cant. After take'n paul's advice ive been scour'n small bric and brak stores for stuff ( i like stuff) and found a metal die-cast version of my kit with a kik ass engine in it, so after a cut here and a chop there i managed to fit qiute well.................Now to work out how to lower this thing and get the proper ride height........... lol see ya's in a few weeks!

Good solution.

I've got this kit as well and lack of engine wasn't the only disappointment for me!
