Building a small Honda NSX plastic model (Tamiya 1/24 kit)

For this video, I have a beautiful Tamiya Honda NSX plastic model, 1/24 scale that sits in my stash for over 1 year. The kit is nice and easy to build, some mold lines to fix but overall it fits very well. Like as always, all small pieces are painted in black primer. The Honda NSX body is painted in white primer and after that, I use pink primer from Zero Paints to get a more deep red.

    So sorry to hear that. I use a cheap compressor, is very noisy but I work in a garage. I bought an air pressure valve with a moisture trap valve in order to adjust the airflow and I have 25 l of air ready to use :)

    Great work! The color of the wheels in 5:58 is beautiful, is it metalic grey?

    Hey! Thank you for your appreciation! The color of the wheels is an "accident" :) I sprayed gloss black primer -> ALCLAD Stainless Steel -> and didn't wait enough time to spray the gloss varnish, so, the varnish made that color, practically the varnish has diluted ALCLAd color. You can obtain something similar with metallic grey (I intend to use this color on a Toyota GR 86 rims)

    Hey! I'm not very sure, but you can go for 18-inch tires (some tires that you find in a hobby store). Or, if you have a Tamiya Subaru WRC kit, I think you can use those tires. Anyway, for custom tires some minor changes need to be made to the suspension.
