Thanks Robby, I am glad you enjoyed seeing it. The wheels on the little one are a bit on the excessive side but the one on the RC are more realistic, I agree with you for sure. It turned out really cool and it was fun to supersize the little as close as I could. It would have been neat to do the fake carbon fiber but with the hard lines in some places and big curves in others I didn't have the confidence to try it. I need to practice a bit before committing to such a hard one. The gunmetal color pulls it off and it looks really slick in person. Take care and I hope you and the family are doing well!

Thank you!! I am very happy with how it turned out. Most of a good paint job is all done before the paint goes on. Using good tapes and making sure everything is prepped well is the majority of the paint process. I always laughed at using the Tamiya masking tape but the stuff just works super well and is easier to work with and cut well than normal tapes. The rest of it is all about remembering you are not painting a full sized car or a house, I have to remind myself of this all the time, literally all the time!!!! 4 or 5 very light coats is so much better than one or two heavy ones but it is very hard to force yourself into stopping! An easy way to practice is using old 2 liter bottle and practicing on them. Also some of the Tamiya polycarbonate cleaner will clean up any minor paint bleeds and oopsies that might happen along the way!

Thanks John! I am glad you enjoyed it and I had a great time getting it down. It turned out really cool and it should be a fun one to drive. I will get that done as soon as the humidity dies down some! An R34 rally car sounds like a fun idea! That would be a interesting one to see out slinging dirt around instead of the typical tire smoke! I think the wheel on mine will be fine, I will probably be replacing it as it is just going to bug me knowing it is broken and it was my fault! We had a nice relaxing 4th and other than the power going out for a few hours from a rough thunderstorm that rolled through it was uneventful which is great! I enjoyed the quite and stress free day! Take care my friend and have a terrific weekend!!

Looks great!

@AddamsPlayground It's gonna cost me maybe fifteen dollars to get the part I need , but that's not including shipping and handling. Is has working headlights and tail lights that work on it.

Love it, that’s a cool car, nice job mate!

Yes, it gets stuck up there nagging me to do it! I am glad I did as it turned out pretty cool and was a fun one!

Nice job. Going to copy you. Got a R34 drift kit not built yet. Hornet was my first car and have already got my Kaido house and never thought to do the kit as a copy of the Kaido house. Also my r34 body it has a crease line across the front and back. Is yours the same.

Thank you! By all means, please recreate it! It was a lot of fun to do and it turned out really cool! The only hard part is finding the pin stripping for the sides. I may see if I can get MCI to create a set of stripes for it instead of using the pinstriping. The body does have the mold lines in it. They are caused by the 3 piece mold required to form the body on. The front and back have the undercut areas that would cause a one piece mold to get trapped inside of the shell. So the front and back section of the mold retracts after molding the shell to allow it to be removed. once painted and decals are one they are not very noticeable, you eyes are drawn to all the other details.

Awesome build Adam. Did those tail light decals go on ok for you? I took mine off and airbrushed the red and orange from the inside. Some decals don't like me so I find a different route.

LOL! It is not you! The tail light decals got a few choice words! I get why they do it to add realism but the crazy molded tail lights on some of these cars is almost impossible to get the decals on right and if you do they have a terrible tendency to peel off later from all the curves! I got them on there the best I could and so far they are holding on, we will see what it looks like in 6 months!

@@AddamsPlayground Yeah I agree. I airbrushed the orange on the inside ones and red on the outside ones. I did add the light kit and extra leds on the Tamiya light unit. I put aluminum wheels on mine. It's a nice car. I just finshed my Mustang with Drift tires and the decals on it came out great. Sometimes I have to just do a few and then come back and approch the difficult ones from a different angle. I'm in no hurry. I did use the hair dryer more though on new builds.

Adam are you getting the new Hornet Evo??

I have had it for a few months. I found it one eBay from Japan for $100 less than the shops here. I have been working on it here and there for about a month or so when I had a little bit of time.
