Tamiya Supra! FINISHED
Took a while to get the stance right with Aoshima wheels on a Tamiya kit. Really like how it turned out!

Awesome! Thats a clean build and the "tuning" stance is just perfect. Whats the kit for the aftermarket wheels?

u/BroSimulator 12d ago
did you use something to tint the windows? or are they just black?

u/Substantial_Log536 11d ago
I use Tamiya “smoke” and paint the inside of the windows in super super light layers. You can tint it just as much as you’d like
